After Action Report
The Knicks downed the Hornets 118-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
