After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Lakers 100-91. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
