After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Nets 107-106. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
