Mitchell Robinson offensive rebound leading to a Shamet 3.
That's the ball game.
Knicks will win six in a row with the Wizards up next. Then New York faces Denver, Detroit and Boston.
Tremendous games from OG, Hart and Shamet.

END OF 3Q: Knicks 90, Lakers 82.
What a game from OG so far. His pressure defensively helped the Knicks get the lead and hold it. The jumper is still falling on the other end.
He's got 21 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals

Weird half of basketball from both teams but Luka doing Luka has been the biggest difference so far.
Knicks need one of Bridges or KAT to get going in second half.

First time in a while the Knicks have given up 30 points in the first quarter...
Some pick-and-roll defense struggles, have gotten lost a few times getting around screens and Luka has done Luka shit.

Game is tied 6-6 but Lakers have scored all their points right at the rim, so Mike Brown calls a timeout.

Tonight starts the Knicks’, possibly, toughest seven-day stretch of the year.
Wizards aside, they have Lakers, Nuggets (second night of B2B), in Detroit and in Boston all by next Sunday.

Barring an all-time collapse, the Knicks will win five straight in a game that was never really in jeopardy.
Another good defensive performance to add to the latest ones.
Brunson’s night ends with 26, Anunoby’s 24, Hart’s with 29, and Towns with 14 and 20

Kudos to Kolek and Diawara tonight. Five combined 3s between them in a 19-point game.
Huge even with the score looking uneven.
