The New York Knicks leaned on a balanced roster to defeat LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 1 2026, pushing their winning streak to six games.
New York’s depth proved decisive, as contributions from across the rotation kept constant pressure on Los Angeles and limited the impact of the Lakers’ star-studded front line. While James led the visitors, the Knicks countered with productive minutes from both starters and reserves, controlling the tempo for most of the night.
The victory marks the Knicks’ sixth straight, reinforcing their rise in the Eastern Conference standings and underscoring the value of their evenly distributed scoring and defensive intensity.
