After Action Report

The Knicks buried the 76ers 129-94. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
