After Action Report
In New York, the Nets edged the Knicks 111-105. Nets' offense had its way with the Knicks. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
