After Action Report

The Knicks ran roughshod over the Bulls 119-89. Knicks' offense had its way with the Bulls. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. 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 · 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 · 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
