After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Lakers 128-124 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
