After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Raptors 133-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
