After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Lakers 99-95. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; 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. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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.
