After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Timberwolves 117-111. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
