After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Mavericks 117-96. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
