After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 151-64. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
