After Action Report

The Knicks squeaked past the Hornets 96-92. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
