After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Jazz 99-98. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
