After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Nets 127-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
