After Action Report

In Chicago, the Knicks fended off the Bulls 119-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
