After Action Report
The Bulls upended the Knicks 133-129 in overtime. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Bulls; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
