After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Bulls 127-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
