After Action Report
In New York, the Lakers blew the doors off the Knicks 131-108. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
