After Action Report
In New York, the Lakers blew the doors off the Knicks 137-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
