The LA Lakers extended their winning streak to eight games by defeating the New York Knicks 113-109 in overtime, thanks to a strong performance from Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Doncic scored 32 points, including five in overtime, while James added 31 points as they came back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter. The Lakers now head into a four-game road trip against the Boston Celtics.
The Golden State Warriors also secured a win with a stunning basket from Steph Curry, who made a 38-foot shot at halftime to beat the Brooklyn Nets 121-119. Curry’s performance was described by teammate Draymond Green as “like watching Cirque du Soleil.” The Lakers’ Doncic praised James for reaching his 50,000-point milestone, saying he might hit 70,000 points soon.
