After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Bulls 117-90. Knicks' offense had its way with the Bulls. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
