After Action Report
The Hornets took care of the Knicks 99-82. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep; 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.
