After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Knicks 103-89. Lakers torched the Knicks on the offensive end. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it
