    My worry is the points came too easily. I have seen this play out before. They need to take every possession in the 3rd quarter
    seriously and not try to get casual with shots or passes.

    OK. Melo took two tough shots that he should not have; every possession is important. Ant took a tough shot with 9 seconds left on the clock. I think that's about it.....

    Good balance on offense with opportunity to on offense but covington only 1 shot we need to get him going but within the offense.

    without looking over his shoulder, and getting into a rhythm. so badly needs a consistent role and minutes.

    Yes. Who said the Lakers are bad at defense? Doesn’t change the fact that the Knicks are the best, no contest.

    I hope we don't randomly decide to change our offense, it's one of the better rated ones in the league.

    Shocked the Knicks couldn't adjust to our zone, but I'm happy with it!

    I would take the Lakers defense because I think they're better than the Knicks. Just the eye test, and defensive rating.
