After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Knicks 93-90. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
