The Los Angeles Lakers appeared better-adjusted in a second consecutive game without Lonzo Ball and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, as they defeated the New York Knicks, 127-107. Brandon Ingram had 10 points in his return, shaking off rust from time missed as the game wore on.
Tyler Ennis had his spots, particularly early, where he controlled the tempo well, but it was Alex Caruso who shined in running the offense. His nine points and seven assists both were good for career highs.
Coming off an all-around effort that included pouring in a season-high 33 points, Jordan Clarkson was again stellar for the Lakers.
