After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Knicks 103-92. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Bulls; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
