After Action Report

The Knicks ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 133-112. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
