After Action Report

In a track meet, the Knicks rolled past the Timberwolves 144-106. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
