Warriors too much for Knicks at MSG

Lonzo looking good
In just his second game since returning from a left knee injury, Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball was perfect from the field in a blowout win over the Hawks.
Lonzo Ball is done for the night after playing 24 minutes. He hit all 4 of his FGA’s towards 13 points (3 3’s, 2 FT’s) plus 7 boards, 5 assists and a steal and was +18.

Not sure what Lakers guard Isaiah Thomas was thinking here, but it didn't end up working out ... unless he was trying to pass the ball to the other team?

Throw it down, Jarrett Allen!
This was a bad case of rookie-on-rookie crime -- Jarrett Allen posterizing Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen.

- Spurs guard Patty Mills responded to racist taunts he heard during the team's win in Cleveland on Sunday.
- Celtics big man Aron Baynes returned to the starting lineup on Monday after missing the team's previous game with an elbow injury.
- The Hawks reached a buyout with forward Ersan Ilyasova, who is expected to sign with the 76ers on Wednesday.
