After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Hornets 123-97. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
