After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks pulled away from the Lakers 125-107. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
