After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks shocked the Hornets 115-107. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
