After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks upended the Bulls 117-99. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
