After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Suns 116-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
