After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Bulls 116-86. Lineup balance gave the Knicks a clear synergy edge. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
