After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Knicks 98-91. Lakers torched the Knicks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
