After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks squeaked past the Hawks 116-113. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
