Bobby Marks makes interesting comparison to Luka-LeBron duo

Doncic, who also had 12 assists and eight rebounds, had five points in overtime as the Lakers improved to 9-2 since he made his LA debut on Feb. 10.

James scored the Lakers' final four points, all at the foul line, and finished with 12 rebounds and eight assists for Los Angeles.

Knicks star Jalen Brunson was injured on a drive in overtime, twisting his right ankle and foot as he crashed to the floor after contact with Austin Reaves and with James close behind. Reaves was called for a foul after a review, and Brunson made both free throws before limping off after the Knicks intentionally fouled to stop the clock.

Brunson had 39 points and 10 assists.

The game was tied at 107 before Jaxson Hayes made a pair of free throws with 59.7 seconds remaining to put the Lakers on top for good.

James then made a pair of foul shots to put Los Angeles up by four after Karl Anthony-Towns was called for a loose ball foul after Miles McBride missed a jumper.
