Game Thread: New York Knicks @ Los Angeles Lakers 5/11/2021 10:00 pm [Game #69]

[mafra]

Randle bullies his way into the lane, after a TO. 89-84.

Feels like a 90s game says the announcer. Grind it out.

 

[htr10]

Really turned into an ugly game. Knicks need to not let this one slip away.

 

[mafra]

Knicks up 5... Rose goes for dagger 3... Noel gets rebound... RB turnover (he acted like he got fouled)... we stop the fast break...

 

[mafra]

Knicks challenge call. Overturned. Knicks ball! They faced turnover from AD.

 

[htr10]

Rose hits a huge shot to give us the 2 point lead.

 

[mafra]

Matthews drains a 3 and goes wild... LAK get stop, score, tie game. Rose goes to work on Matthew?s. NYK up 2. They force turnover....

1:25 left. Our ball. Up 2.

 

[htr10]

What the hell was that call? AD rams his face into Noel and then 3 seconds later gets the foul call. Terrible job by the refs. Awful.

 

[mafra]

Rose just misses shot, Randle just missed putback.

AD in post. Makes moves, slams into Noel. AD grabs face and ref calls a foul?

Huh?

No whistle, then after seeing AD reax, he makes a call.

 

[htr10]

Karma. AD bricks the jumper. Knicks ball with 31 seconds to go and 2 point lead. Let?s go!

 

[mafra]

AD with a brick. Randle with the rebound.

Ladies and gents... Randle has outplayed AD.

Now go win it Julius!

28-8-3 is nice... get to 30 and we get the win and head home 4-2 on the road trip!

 

[htr10]

Bad call. Shot clock violation. Can?t just keep going Randle on AD there. Knicks need a big stop now. Lead is 2. Final possession to Lakers.

 

[mafra]

They force a shot clock violation. I guess we need 1 more stop if we will win it. Win with defense!

 

[htr10]

Man. Got to box out there. Matthews gets the putback there.

 

[mafra]

They miss the shot but Matthews gets rebound and scores with 3 left.

Once again, we need to hit a shot to win or go to OT.

We are due for a buzzer beater.

Design a play somebody! No ISO

 

[htr10]

Overtime. Fumbled that 4th quarter away.

 

[mafra]

Randle missed a runner at the buzzer. A great look close to rim... oh well.

We go to OT.

That close... they get offensive rebound putback bucket, and we miss a close layup. Darn it!

 

[mafra]

Yeah, we needed more from Rose there. Got to box out!

 

[mafra]

18-15 LAK out score NYK in the 4th.

LAK get yet another off rebound and leads to a 3...

We respond, get a stop! Let?s go...

 

[mafra]

Rose misses a shot. We get a stop. RJ misses a 3... we get a stop... Randle misses a layup... RB with a stupid foul...

Can?t win if you can?t score.

 

[mafra]

AD doesn?t miss the layup. He finally reaches 20 points.

We can?t finish.

Our record in games decided by 3 points or less is 2-8.
