After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Hawks 100-98. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
