After Action Report

The Knicks held off the Bobcats 103-96. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
