After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks fended off the Suns 99-91. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Knicks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
