After Action Report

The Knicks downed the Lakers 122-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
