After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Jazz 100-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Jazz sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
