After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Bobcats 112-111 in overtime. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
