After Action Report
In Chicago, the Knicks outlasted the Bulls 109-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks sent shots into the fifth row all night; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
