After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks edged the 76ers 108-101. Knicks torched the 76ers on the offensive end. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
