After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Raptors 102-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
