"Sunday marked the first-year anniversary of the Lakers' acquisition of Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks. Lakers coach JJ Redick admitted he felt "stressed" knowing about the trade before the Lakers played the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden that night. While his stress may have faded, Redick couldn't have liked what he saw from the Lakers one year later. Despite a strong effort from Doncic, the Lakers struggled with their shooting and lost 112-100 to the Knicks on Sunday night."
"After Landry Shamet made a three-pointer to give the Knicks a 112-99 lead with 59.3 seconds left, Redick pulled his starters. The Lakers led 56-52 at halftime but were outscored 38-26 in the third quarter after New York went on a 15-5 run to take a 90-82 lead into the fourth quarter. Doncic finished with 30 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Lakers' 45% shooting from the field and 29% shooting from three-point range."
The Lakers fell 112-100 to the New York Knicks on the one-year anniversary of acquiring Luka Doncic. JJ Redick said he felt "stressed" about the trade a year earlier; the Lakers' performance a year later was marred by inefficient shooting. The team led 56-52 at halftime but was outscored 38-26 in the third quarter after a 15-5 Knicks run. Doncic produced 30 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists, and LeBron James added 22 points. New York received 25 points from OG Anunoby, 23 from Landry Shamet and a season-high 13 assists from Jalen Brunson while winning a sixth straight game.
