After Action Report
The Knicks stunned the Nuggets 137-116. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
