After Action Report
The Knicks shocked the Bulls 106-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
