After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Bulls 119-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
- 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.
