After Action Report
The Bulls rolled past the Knicks 105-80. The Bulls won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Bulls; the Bulls came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
