After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Nets 121-114. Knicks' offense had its way with the Nets. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
