After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Lakers 106-98. Knicks' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' 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. Style points be damned.
