After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Knicks buried the Bobcats 103-77. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bobcats couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
