After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks took care of the Bulls 110-96. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
