After Action Report

The Knicks edged the Bulls 120-111. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Bulls lately; Bulls' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
