LOS ANGELES — It was quite a night for former draft picks of the Lakers. Unfortunately, a number of them happen to now play for the New York Knicks.
For the second straight game, Anthony Davis struggled to make his impact felt on offense, finishing with 17 points and 16 rebounds. He was outdone by New York’s R.J. Barrett, who had 30 points as Randle’s co-star. It was a game in which LeBron James’ absence was particularly felt – he had played a leading role in a win in New York in January.
But ultimately Barrett helped drive a wedge on the scoreboard. The forward scored 13 of his points in the fourth and sparked a defining run with three straight baskets after the Lakers had tied up the game at 93. His last basket, a running finger roll in transition with 2:34 left, turned out to be the winning score.
