After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Knicks edged the Hornets 105-99. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

  • Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
