After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Raptors 112-89. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; the Raptors are in a full-on tailspin. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
