LeBron saved the Lakers, overtime win over the Knicks

It was a crazy game in LA, with the Lakers clawing back a 21-point lead over the Knicks but eventually needing overtime to earn a 122-115 win, with LeBron James hitting a triple-double.

An incredible game took place in LA. A game the Lakers seemed poised to lose. Then it seemed impossible not to win until they averted their eyes. However, they ended up winning in overtime, 122-115.

The Lakers started the game…miserably. They were -21 (47-68) in the second period and finished the game by gaining the upper hand. And 77 seconds before the final they had a difference of 7 points (103-110). And finally… it got dark. The Knicks went 1-8 and tied at 111-111 with a three-pointer from (incredible) Ar Jay Barrett that sent the game into overtime! There, however, they ran out of wonders as the Lakers clinched the win.

LeBron James led the Lakers on his return to the court from injury with 29 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, with Malik Monk adding 29 points and Anthony Davis adding 28 points and 17 rebounds. Russell Westbrook stayed on 5 points with 1/10 shots, lost two crucial shots in the final of regulation time and remained on the bench in overtime.

For the Knicks, Barrett had 36 points and Julius Randle had 32 points and 16 rebounds.

Lakers player independently fixes dislocated finger during Dallas game

Los Angeles Lakers player Marcus Smart He described how he removed his finger during an intervention attempt and then reattached it:

“My finger popped out again, so I had to put it back in. I put it right back in. It was the same finger that had been operated on before, so it was a little scary, but it would still be fine.”

I sprained my operated finger and thought, “I don’t want to quit playing.” I quickly tried to set it up and if it hadn’t worked I would have left the site long ago. But I managed to get back into the game.

It’s part of basketball, it’s part of me. I’m a tough player, things happen and I want to help the team in any way possible, whether it’s with ten fingers or nine fingers,” Smart said.

While Los Angeles Lakers defeated Dallas Mavericks with a score of 116:110, Smart played 32 minutes and played with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks during this time.

Previously, Luka Doncic shared his feelings about returning to Dallas.

Doncic on returning to Dallas: ‘This will always be a special place for me’

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic He shared his feelings about returning to Dallas, where he spent 7 years as a member of the Mavericks.

Cheers erupted in the arena during the Slovenian’s introduction, and fans chanted “MVP” when Doncic went for a free throw.

“I was very happy to come back here. I went home and looked at my cars. But, you know, it’s always emotional. I was very pleased that the fans applauded me when I was introduced.”

It will always be a special place for me. I’ve spent seven years here and a lot of things have happened, both good and bad. When I went to Madrid at the age of 13, I felt good every time I returned to Slovenia. That’s why it will always be a special place for me.

Fan support? It was really special. I didn’t know what to expect because I know how the city responds to such cold weather, but I’m really grateful to a lot of people for coming.

Doncic helped the Lakers win 116-110 with 33 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds in the match.
