After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks pulled away from the Bulls 117-102. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
