After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks squeaked past the Jazz 94-91. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
