After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks outlasted the Trail Blazers 105-97. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
