After Action Report

The Knicks rolled past the Trail Blazers 126-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
