After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Bulls 141-119. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
