After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Bulls 131-97. Knicks torched the Bulls on the offensive end. The Knicks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
