The New York Knicks never really got going on Sunday in Los Angeles, providing support to those who believe that the team's biggest problem isn't a lack of high-end play: it's a team-wide philosophy that "flipping the switch" and pulling off big comeback wins is a sustainable practice.
That didn't work against the Lakers, even though New York was right in the game at the start of the second half. The team's 3-point shooting never got going, and Luka Doncic was too much for them to handle. Even though their road trip has mostly been successful thus far, the flat effort in LA stung extra.
