Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Lakers 7:00 12/12/2017 [Game #27]

We need to run more PnR plays for KP, usually its a dump off pass and he takes a turnaround jumper. Chicago is running more plays for Markkannen to get him more easy buckets, Knicks need to do that.

Had a couple chances to put this one away, but couldn?t do it. Now we have the ball in a tie game with 23.9 seconds to go.

Tie game 4.5 left, in the Melo era he would take the shot. Has the torch been passed?

Come on you gotta get a better play/shot off than that...

KP is a BUM .. Quinn should have stayed on the court n let Beasley n Mcderm win the game for us .. we gotta go to overtime bc KP don't pass or take a good percentage shot

Yep, Porzingis took the shot. Took an ugly looking long 3 and we got the same result we got with Melo a miss.

Kuzma got game. Liked him since summer league.

Our guys bringing a ton of energy in OT. Big hustle plays by Lee and then Beasley. We lead by 2.

Knicks win this got to give Beasley the game ball despite a great night by KP.

This 4th quarter and OT unit of KP, Beasley, McDermott, Lee, and Ntilikina doing a lot of good things out there.

KP is not the go to guy !!!

You did Tig(major props), kid's got BITE. I disagree with Mark Jackson...Kuzma is the Lakers best player not Ingram

We have the ball with a 2 point lead and less than 2 seconds to go. Just get the ball inbounds.

#kporzee played very well tonight, not the game to be overly critical of him. The whole team has played hard

KP extends the lead to 4 from the line with 0.6 seconds to go. Get the hell out of our house Laker fans. Go home.

Fun game and fun win for the Knicks. Great game that showcased some great young players on both teams. Knicks and Lakers both look like franchises finally moving in the right direction.

Ingram consistency is the best on the Lakers roster

The torch was passed to KP tonight taking the game winner with seconds left and Frank playing the 4th and the OT. Frank is playing better and this was the start of him taking the reins as the starting PG.

Frank n Jack should have been put in the same lineup for at least 6 minutes a game in our past 20 games for development .. KP has turned into another no-passing weak on defense ISO-Melo .. we are gonna lose more games than we win having KP as our go to GUY!
Nice Knicks WIN .. Game Ball goes to Beasley / Frank !!!
