After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks blew the doors off the Lakers 124-96. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
