After Action Report
The Knicks upended the Bulls 124-120. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
