After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Rockets 111-108. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · 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.
