After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Raptors 107-102. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
