Tom Thibodeau after loss to Lakers: “We’ve got to shore up our defense”

The Los Angeles Lakers (24-28) wrapped up their recreational trip around the Five Boroughs with a 129–123 victory in OT over the New York Knicks (27-25) on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Recreational, of course, because LeBron James and Anthony Davis—the only two players on the Lakers rosters whose names you will remember in 25 years—sat out their matchup against the Nets on Monday to freshly face the Knicks on Tuesday. This was, obviously, going to happen.

Tuesday marked James’ first MSG game in three years. The last time New York welcomed the King was all the way back in January 2020.
