After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks edged the Nets 102-94. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
