After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Rockets 126-97. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
