Knicks stave off comeback, beat LeBron-less Lakers

The starters started hot and the bench finished strong. It wasn’t a perfect performance for the New York Knicks, but a win is a win. The Knicks were able to hold off the Los Angeles Lakers 106-100 in their final game before Thanksgiving.

It counts the same on the final ledger, even if LeBron James was sidelined with a suspension and Anthony Davis was slowed down by a non-COVID illness.

After a fast start, it looked like the Knicks might run away with this one. Evan Fournier, Julius Randle, and RJ Barrett all started the game off hot.
