The Los Angeles Lakers stayed hot as the Vegas heat on Tuesday, defeating the New York Knicks 107-92.
Josh Hart, who came into Tuesday’s game against the Knicks as the third leading scorer in Summer League with 20.5 points per game, powered the Lakers to a 24-23 first quarter with 11 points on 4-5 shooting and a SportsCenter-worthy drive and dunk.
Despite a dazzling 11-point second quarter performance from Kevin Knox, the Knicks’ 18-year-old 6-foot-9 rookie forward who went 0-6 in the first, the Lakers went into halftime with up 53-42.
