After Action Report
The Jazz edged the Knicks 95-87. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Knicks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
