After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks held off the Raptors 112-105. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
