After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks fended off the 76ers 106-97. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
