After Action Report

The Knicks outlasted the Lakers 128-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
