After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Lakers 95-94. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
