After Action Report
In New York, the Jazz pulled away from the Knicks 108-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
