After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks knocked off the Bulls 106-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
