After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Knicks ran roughshod over the 76ers 118-97. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
