After Action Report
The Jazz demolished the Knicks 116-91. Jazz's offense had its way with the Knicks. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
