After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks demolished the Jazz 107-83. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
