After Action Report

The Knicks rolled past the Bulls 124-78. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Bulls are in a full-on tailspin. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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.
