After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Nets 101-96. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
