After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks shocked the Trail Blazers 109-103. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. An upset for the books.
