After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Timberwolves 95-90. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
