The New York Knicks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 114-109. Jalen Brunson scored 11 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter, and Julius Randle had 27 points and 14 rebounds in the game.

Jalen Brunson scored 11 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter, and the New York Knicks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 114-109 on Monday night. This victory occurred despite the fact that LeBron James recorded his 109th career triple-double.

As the Knicks held strong in the fourth quarter and weathered a rally led by James, they were able to capture their second road victory over the Lakers in 2023. Julius Randle had 27 points and 14 rebounds, and Immanuel Quickley had 20 points. Other players on the team included Immanuel Quickley.

James finished with 25 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who have come back from winning the first-ever In-Season Tournament but have now lost three of their last four games. Despite the fact that Anthony Davis scored 32 points and 14 rebounds, Los Angeles was unable to close the gap despite having multiple opportunities to do so in the final minutes of the game.

When there was 3 minutes and 38 seconds left in the game, James made two consecutive baskets to cut the Knicks’ lead to 103-99. However, Randle made a last-ditch three-point jumper to beat the shot clock just a few moments later. Following the successful completion of a jump ball, James failed to make a three-point shot with forty seconds remaining in the game, which would have reduced New York’s lead to two points. Randle then made a dunk on the other end of the court.

It is the only player in the history of the National Basketball Association to achieve a triple-double in his 21st season. James, who is 38 years old, recorded his second triple-double of the season.

Despite the fact that Davis, D’Angelo Russell, and Cam Reddish were all able to return from injury after missing an embarrassing loss to San Antonio three nights earlier, the Lakers were unable to win despite the fact that Austin Reaves scored twenty points for the basketball team.

Brunson provided three three-pointers in a great all-around game as New York returned from a loss to the Clippers two nights earlier. Randle scored 16 points in the first half against his former team, and Brunson contributed three 3-pointers in the game.

The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a banner commemorating their unbeaten run through the In-Season Tournament, which culminated in their victory against Indiana in Las Vegas nine days ago. The banner was shown before to the Lakers’ first home game since December 5th.

Next to the five Minneapolis Lakers championship banners, the Lakers unfurled the humble black banner, which has room to add future championship years. The Lakers’ fans cheered politely as they unveiled the banner. They are all hanging in a less prominent spot on the north wall of their downtown arena, which is dominated by banners representing Los Angeles’ twelve gold titles.
