After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Knicks 117-111 in overtime. Rockets' offense had its way with the Knicks. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
