After Action Report
The Knicks blew the doors off the Lakers 125-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
