3 keys for the Knicks to take down overhyped Lakers team

The New York Knicks a preparing to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday evening, and while their opposition has struggled this season, they contain three of the most dominant players in basketball featuring in the starting five.

With the Knicks coming off a disappointing defeat to the Chicago Bulls, in which Julius Randle was the only starter to earn double-digit points, they will have arguably a taller task against the Lakers, who’re capable of scoring an exorbitant amount despite a lack of defensive efficiency at times.

The Lakers have allowed over 100 points in nearly every single game this season, featuring one of the worst defenses in basketball, and without LeBron James having been suspended against the Detroit Pistons, the Knicks might have an easier chance to emerge victorious.
