After Action Report

The Knicks outlasted the Bulls 110-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks sent shots into the fifth row all night; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
