After Action Report

The Knicks snuck past the Lakers 108-107. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
