After Action Report

The Knicks demolished the 76ers 128-103. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the 76ers. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
