After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Knicks 97-79. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
