After Action Report
In Chicago, the Knicks survived the Bulls 112-107. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; second-chance points piled up for the Bulls. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
