After Action Report
In New York, the 76ers held off the Knicks 103-97. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
