After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Nuggets 108-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
