The commentators from the three TV stations broadcasting this game all stated that the Lakers have already locked in the victory!
Based on tonight's confrontation and rhythm, a 10-point lead is a huge gap for the Knicks!
Not to mention the Knicks, even if the Lakers tried to widen the gap by another 10 points, they wouldn't be able to do it.
The Lakers played so well in the second quarter, and they only managed to go from trailing by 1 point to a 6-point lead, a 7-point difference; as the third quarter is nearing its end, the Lakers have only managed to stretch it by another 4 points.
Moreover, the 4-point lead created in the third quarter might still be reduced, the Knicks still have one more attack!
But this also means that if the Knicks enter the final quarter trailing by 10 points, the chances of a comeback are slim!
Of course, a 10-point difference, to be honest, isn't really that big, the Knicks haven't given up.
