After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Hornets 128-75. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 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. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
