After Action Report

The Knicks outlasted the Bobcats 95-88. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
