00:00A marquee matchup in Los Angeles with the hottest team in the Western Conference and the New York

00:06Knicks. That hottest team out west would be the LA Lakers. Winners of seven in a row entering last

00:11night hoping for a straight in a great game that we saw that was sent to overtime by Jalen Brunson

00:19for New York and then in overtime Jalen Brunson injures his ankle. The Lakers take advantage in

00:26the extra session winning by four in a tightly contested game 113-109. The Lakers do cover as

00:33a three-point home favorite even in the extra session. DRS a total of 230 and a half does stay

00:40under making eight straight wins for the Lake show who have covered in seven of those eight victories.

00:46Learning to play together and also understanding this Austin Reeves came back last night and gave

00:50you two for 13 from the floor and they still won. Credit the bench here for the Lakers also for

00:55coming up big. Maybe it wasn't for big point numbers but gave Vincent four or five from the

00:59floor which included Ben four or four from three-point range. You take a look at Dalton Connect

01:03four of eight from the field including three of seven for three-point range. Also Jemison three

01:08or four from the field so seven twelve and eleven to sort of help you out when you're starters.

01:12Dorian Finney-Smith only two points Jackson Hayes eight points and Austin Reeves eight points really

01:17helped you out but it looks like LeBron James and Luka Doncic are getting comfortable together

01:21each taking 23 shot attempts from the floor both scoring over 30 points but also being active

01:27on the glass and with assists here which is key getting the rest of the team involved but

01:31stepping up and understanding in the big moments they need to be the handlers of the basketball

01:36and it wasn't that the Knicks played a bad game overall they just couldn't find their depth from

01:40three-point range only 10 of 43 from the floor which was 23 percent. Overtime game they lost

01:46bigger questions now surrounding how long is Brunson going to be out and then I guess also

01:50you can probably put the Lakers in that top tier of NBA basketball teams and another loss of the

01:54New York Knicks against a top tier team. Wasn't as if they got blown out played well just wasn't enough.
