After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Rockets 96-83. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
