After Action Report
In Portland, the Knicks fended off the Trail Blazers 99-93. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
