For a team that had lost 8 matches in a row and has looked lost most of the season, this is a welcome sign to see that they had multiple players in double figures. They all played smart basketball which led to a lot of opportunities for everyone.

The Knicks' bench made a huge difference in this game as they had total combined points of 55. And they outscored the Lakers bench by 25 points. This proved to be too much for the Lakers starters to match up and they succumbed to the Knicks in the 4th quarter.
