After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Hornets 108-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Hornets sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
