After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Knicks outlasted the Hornets 122-115. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
