After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Knicks 108-86. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
