After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks fended off the Bulls 109-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
