After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Bulls 117-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
