After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Jazz 99-89. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
