After Action Report

In New York, the Trail Blazers fended off the Knicks 94-88. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. 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.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
