After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets upended the Knicks 108-106. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
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.
