After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Bulls 87-83. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks are in a full-on tailspin. 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 · 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.
