Porzingis, Rose lead Knicks past slumping Lakers, 118-112
LOS ANGELES — Carmelo Anthony was thrilled when several Knicks took turns hitting big shots while they held off the Lakers. He can see New York embracing the teamwork and syncopated speed necessary to run coach Jeff Hornacek’s offense effectively.
The Lakers had a similar rhythm going, and now they’ve lost it.
Kristaps Porzingis had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Derrick Rose scored 25 in his return from injury and the Knicks beat Los Angeles 118-112 Sunday night for their sixth win in seven games.
