Luka Doncic, the\u00a0NBA’s leading scorer, had 30 points and tied a season-high with 15 rebounds for the Lakers, who fell to 4-3 on their season-long eight-game Grammys road trip. Doncic also had 15 rebounds in a 112-108 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 7.<\/p>\n

LeBron James had 22 points, five rebounds and six assists while Deandre Ayton had 13 points. Rui Hachimura added 11 points off the bench.<\/p>\n

The teams combined for 15 lead changes and six ties before the Knicks took control late in the third.<\/p>\n

The Lakers led by as many as nine in the first before taking 33-27 lead at the end of the quarter. The Knicks led once in the second at 45-44 before Los Angeles ended the quarter on a 12-7 run to take a 56-52 lead.<\/p>\n

Doncic hit a 3-pointer with 3:45 left in the third to give the Lakers their last lead at 77-75. After four straight empty trips, Towns’ steal of a Doncic pass led to Anunoby’s game-tying dunk. Anunoby then picked off Gabe Vincent’s pass and put the Knicks ahead for good with another dunk.<\/p>\n

Hachimura missed a 3-pointer before Brunson fed Shamet for an alley-oop. James hit a jumper following a timeout to pull the Lakers within 81-79, but Shamet, Brunson and Anunoby all hit 3-pointers in the final 70 seconds to give the Knicks a 90-82 lead.<\/p>\n

The Lakers got no closer than four in the fourth, and the Knicks took their first double-digit lead at 99-89 on Hart’s jumper with 5:57 to go. New York led by at least eight the rest of the way.<\/p>\n
