After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Bobcats 97-86. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
