After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Bobcats 99-88. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Bobcats looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
