The Los Angeles Lakers have won over the Utah Jazz 124-118 on this Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to six games and remaining undefeated at home during this season. Newly drafted guard Dalton Knecht dominated with a career-high 37 points, including nine 3–pointers, tying a rookie record.
Knecht Catches Fire
Knecht’s hot shooting added up well for the Lakers, who took a lead in the third quarter. He hit 21 points alone in the third, and hit five straight triples. He even mirrored Michael Jordan with a shrug celebration during his hot streak!
Team Effort Secures Victory
Oh, while Knecht stole the show, Anthony Davis and LeBron James also got double-doubles to their credit, with 26 and 12 assists each. Austin Reaves added 17 points to complete the Lakers’ scoring.
Jazz Fall Short
Lauri Markkanen paced the Jazz with 25 points, but that wasn’t enough to overcome the Lakers’ sparkling shooting. Utah’s Keyonte George and Collin Sexton also hit double figures. The Jazz have lost their last three games.
Looking Ahead
The Jazz conclude their final trip on the road with a bang by meeting San Antonio on Thursday. The Los Angeles Lakers will host the Orlando Magic on the home court.
