After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks rolled past the Lakers 114-91. Knicks' starting five clicked while the Lakers looked disjointed. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
