LeBron James delivered a masterful triple-double to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 128-112 victory over the New York Knicks, snapping New York’s five-game win streak in the process.

James dropped 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists, continuing to power the Lakers, who have now won six of their last seven games, including the last two without Anthony Davis.

 


 

Austin Reaves added 27 points, while Rui Hachimura contributed 21 as the Lakers improved to 28-19 in the Western Conference.

Max Christie and Dorian Finney-Smith also stepped up with 15 points each.

The Knicks had seven players in double figures, led by Josh Hart’s own triple-double of 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists, but it wasn’t enough as New York dropped to 32-17 for no. 3 in the East.
