After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Knicks 114-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
