After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks rolled past the Lakers 118-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
