After Action Report

The Lakers pulled away from the Knicks 108-92. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Knicks are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
