Luka Doncic scored five of his 32 points in overtime, LeBron James added 31 points and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied to extend their winning streak to eight games, beating the visiting New York Knicks 113-109 on Thursday.
Doncic added 12 assists and seven rebounds, while James had 12 rebounds and eight assists. Gabe Vincent finished with 12 points and Dalton Knecht added 11 as the Lakers improved to 18-3 since Jan 21.
The Lakers trailed by 10 points with 6:57 remaining in regulation before two 3-pointers from James and two from Vincent in the final 4:28 forced overtime. Doncic opened the extra session with five consecutive points and James sealed the victory with four free throws in the final 39 seconds.
Jalen Brunson scored eight of his 39 points in OT and finished with 10 assists for the Knicks, who lost their second consecutive game and dropped the opener of a five-game West Coast road trip.
Brunson departed with 1:24 remaining in overtime due to a right ankle injury but remained in the game long enough to make two free throws and tie the game 107 all. The Lakers subsequently wrapped up the contest from the foul line.
