After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Lakers 109-103. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Knicks lately; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
