After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Lakers 142-109. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
