After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Knicks 85-78. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
