After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Knicks took care of the Hornets 137-120. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
