After Action Report

The Knicks squeaked past the Suns 88-87. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
