After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Suns 111-102. Knicks' offense had its way with the Suns. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
