After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Knicks 109-85. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
