After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Knicks 120-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
