After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Knicks blew the doors off the Lakers 116-77. Knicks torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
