After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Rockets 100-98. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
