After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks survived the 76ers 112-108. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
