After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks demolished the Suns 126-106. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
