After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Nets 95-87. 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. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
