After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Bulls 129-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
