The New York Knicks' nine-game winning streak was halted by the Los Angeles Lakers, with Jalen Brunson's standout performance not enough to secure a win. Brunson had previously scored 40 points in an emotional victory over the Indiana Pacers, a game the Knicks won despite missing key players Randle, Anunoby, and Mitch. As the Knicks look ahead to their next game on Tuesday, speculation about LeBron James' future with the Lakers continues after he declined to clarify his intentions and his agent denied trade rumors. The Knicks' current record stands at 32-18.
🏀 LeBron James and the Lakers end Knick's 9-game winning streak. "I think with LeBron, it’s his skill set, size, power, speed, and then his ability to push the ball, attack before the defense sets," head coach Tom Thibodeau said postgame. https://t.co/g2i0MnAKTM
