The Lakers extended their winning streak to 6 games on Tuesday, demolishing the woebegone Knicks by 30 points. The 117-87 score is exactly what this game was and offered a 1-game reprieve from the Lakers getting a big lead only to squander it like I do my bankroll at a cold craps table.
The Lakers are now 30-7 on the season, 1st in the West with a 4.5 game lead over the 2nd place Nuggets. This cushion will be needed, particularly because while the Lakers won a game, they lost Anthony Davis to injury what could be a couple of games — if not longer.
