The Los Angeles Lakers ended the New York Knicks' nine-game winning streak with a 113-105 victory at Madison Square Garden. LeBron James led the Lakers with 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Jalen Brunson had a standout performance for the Knicks with 36 points and 10 assists. Despite Brunson's efforts, the Knicks struggled in the fourth quarter as he faced double teams. The Lakers' win was highlighted by a strong defensive effort in the final quarter and balanced scoring, with Austin Reaves contributing 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, and four other Lakers scoring in double digits. The Lakers are on a two-game winning streak and are looking forward to their next game against Charlotte on Monday and the unveiling of Kobe Bryant's statue on Thursday when they play the Nuggets.
