After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks outlasted the Hawks 110-103. Knicks' starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
