After Action Report

The Knicks squeaked past the Nets 113-108. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
