After Action Report
The Bulls snuck past the Knicks 88-84. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
