LeBron James and pending free agent Anthony Davis jointly made their lone appearance at Madison Square Garden this season, and for most of it, the Knicks gave the best team in the Western Conference all it could handle.
But the Lakers’ new dynamic duo and their improving supporting cast proved to be too much yet again in the end, sending the Knicks to a 100-92 home loss, their ninth in 11 games.
James netted 19 of his 21 in the first two quarters and Davis finished with a game-high 28 (13-for-13 from the free-throw line) for the Lakers, who improved to 35-9 in their steamrolling quest for the franchise’s first winning season and postseason berth since 2012-13.
