After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Bulls 117-116. Knicks' offense had its way with the Bulls. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
