After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Bulls 103-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
