After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Lakers 125-105. Knicks' offense had its way with the Lakers. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
