After Action Report
The Knicks rolled past the Lakers 131-101. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
