After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks snuck past the Magic 97-96. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
