After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the 76ers 127-102. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
