After Action Report
The Knicks stunned the Lakers 125-116. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
