After Action Report
The Knicks downed the Suns 118-105. Knicks torched the Suns on the offensive end. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
