After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks survived the Lakers 98-93. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Knicks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
