After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Knicks 116-108. Lakers' offense had its way with the Knicks. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
