After Action Report

The Knicks blew the doors off the 76ers 112-85. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
