LeBron James' potential game-winning shot with 2.3 seconds left was blocked by Mario Hezonja and the Los Angeles Lakers lost 124-123 to the New York Knicks, who wiped out an 11-point deficit in the final 3 1/2 minutes.
The Knicks charged back largely because of their defense against James. DeAndre Jordan also blocked one of his shots in the final minute, and James missed a jumper with the Lakers clinging to a one-point lead.
James finished with 33 points, eight assists and six rebounds in his return after sitting out a game, but the Knicks spoiled it with a closing 13-1 burst.
