After Action Report

In Utah, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Jazz 120-94. Knicks torched the Jazz on the offensive end. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
