After Action Report
The Knicks stunned the Nets 111-104. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
