The Knicks came into Sunday’s matinee looking to win consecutive games for the first time in over a month and consecutive road games for the first time in 363 days. They’re still looking after falling to the KCP-and-Lonzo-less Lakers 127-107. It was three quarters of breathless, back-and-forth end-to-end action. Fine flaws abounded, on both teams, and so theatrics ran riot. But L.A. was quicker and hungrier throughout, and that’s often a cliche but it wasn’t tonight. The Lakers were always everywhere. It was like the Foot Clan if the Foot Clan was legit.
Both teams opened hot and stayed hot.
