After Action Report
The Knicks pulled away from the Lakers 129-117. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
