Knicks Report:
The Southern California swing continues tonight as the Knicks return to Staples Center looking for a season sweep of the Lakers in their 34th and final meeting with Kobe Bryant.
Kurt Rambis praised his team's effort after New York erased a 15-point deficit before falling in Friday night's 101-94 loss to the Clippers. Carmelo Anthony and Robin Lopez scored 20 points apiece -- Lopez also added a season-high 19 rebounds -- and Kristaps Porzingis scored 18 of his 23 in the second half to set up an exciting back-and-forth down the stretch, but Chris Paul's playmaking (24 points, 15 assists) was too much to overcome for the shorthanded Knicks.
