After Action Report
The Knicks held off the Hornets 105-97. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
