After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks rolled past the Hawks 125-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
