After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Bobcats 97-94. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
