After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Nets 106-101. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
