After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks pulled away from the Nets 119-101. Knicks' offense had its way with the Nets. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
