After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Lakers 124-93. Knicks' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
