Former Tennessee basketball player Dalton Knecht totaled nine points, five rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes for the Lakers. He converted 4-of-6 field goal attempts and 1-of-3 three-point attempts. LeBron James scored 22 points and Luka Doncic added 17 points for Los Angeles, which had its eight-game win streak end.

The Celtics successfully fended off the Lakers, avenging their worst loss of the season as Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown starred in the victory.
