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.
