After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Rockets 117-107. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
