After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks snuck past the Bulls 125-122. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
