After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Rockets 105-101. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
