After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Hornets 126-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
