After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks buried the Bulls 131-89. Knicks' offense had its way with the Bulls. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
