Let’s be clear here with the importance of the analysis of this game against the New York Knicks. Zero, zip, zilch, nada, squat. The question was not if the Los Angeles Lakers would beat the Knicks, but by how many points. Marcus Morris wasn’t playing. It wouldn’t have mattered if he did. Basically you get the point.
The Los Angeles Lakers smoked the New York Knicks like a pack of KOOL cigarettes winning 117-87 on Tuesday night. The Staples Center crowd got their free tacos and LeBron James got off the floor in a timely manner after suffering from an illness that kept him out of the early shoot around.
