After Action Report
In New York, the Lakers snuck past the Knicks 112-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
