After Action Report

The Knicks demolished the Nets 108-86. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
