After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets edged the Knicks 111-102. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
