NEW YORK\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of the Lakers<\/a>\u2019 acquisition of Luka Doncic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coach JJ Redick<\/a> acknowledged he felt \u201cstressed\u201d knowing about the trade<\/a> before the Lakers played the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden that night in 2025.<\/p>\n

While his stress may have faded, Redick couldn\u2019t have liked what he saw from the Lakers on the same floor one year later.<\/p>\n

Despite a strong effort from Doncic, the Lakers struggled with their shooting and lost 112-100<\/a> to the Knicks on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

After Landry Shamet made his second straight 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.<\/p>\n

Doncic finished with 30 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists, but it wasn\u2019t enough to overcome the Lakers\u2019 45% shooting from the field and 29% shooting from three-point range.<\/p>\n

LeBron James, named an NBA All-Star for the 22nd time before the game, had 22 points, six assists and five rebounds, but he fell to 23-9 in regular-season games at Madison Square Garden, and the Lakers slipped to 4-3 on their season-high eight-game trip, which ends Tuesday in Brooklyn. <\/p>\n

Deandre Ayton had 13 points and five rebounds, and Marcus Smart had seven points and three assists.<\/p>\n

OG Anunoby had 25 points, eight rebounds and three assists to lead the Knicks (31-18) who have won six straight. Shamet scored 23 points off the bench, and Josh Hart had 20 points and four rebounds. Jalen Brunson finished with 12 points and a season-high 13 assists. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of the Lakers\u2019 acquisition of Luka Doncic.
