NEW YORK — The Big Apple always expects a show when LeBron James comes to Madison Square Garden. A three-year delay between appearances seemed to only have whet the appetite.
James finished with a team-high 28 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists – his first triple-double of the season. Anthony Davis added 27 points in his third game back from injury, and Russell Westbrook had three of his eight assists in overtime playing a critical role in the win. They survived 37 points from the cool-headed Jalen Brunson, who was at the helm of several sequences that kept the Knicks in it.
Brunson again was at the front of the Knicks’ heroics on defense, where he stepped in to draw his second charge of the night against Davis on a pick-and-roll drive by the Lakers’ big man. Julius Randle couldn’t get a shot off before the regulation buzzer, sending the Lakers to their sixth overtime game this season.
But the Knicks’ quickly caught up, thanks to Lakers turnovers and their own weak 3-point shooting. The Lakers were only 3 for 17 from behind the arc in the first half – and the last basket of the opening half was a half-court bank shot heave from Schröder that made even him shake his head in disbelief. The Lakers had shot 33% or less from 3-point range in eight of their previous 11 games, and with another early frigid display, the Knicks’ defense collapsed in on the paint.
