After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Hornets 114-94. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
