After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks fended off the Bulls 105-99. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
