After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Bulls 111-89. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
