After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Bulls 96-81. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Bulls utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
