After Action Report

The Knicks blew the doors off the Bobcats 117-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
