After Action Report

In New York, the Bulls squeaked past the Knicks 92-87. Ugly basketball, but the Bulls did just enough. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
