After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Bulls 124-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
