After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Raptors 106-101. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
