Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Frank Vogel on AD’s boards: “I mean, he’s ripping these down in traffic. And really, I mean both sides: 7 offensive rebounds, 17 overall. If he’s gonna play the center position like that, and with Bron back and guys around those guys, we got a chance to do something special. ” –

An ice bath isn’t gonna cut it, we’ve gotta bury him in the Arctic Captain America style until Tuesday. –

11:48 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Anthony Davis said he saw Russell Westbrook hesitate on certain shots tonight and get out of rhythm. He and LeBron tried to stay in his ear to encourage him: “One thing you can’t do is put too much pressure on yourself.” –
11:47 PM
Melissa Rohlin @
melissarohlin AD acknowledged that he didn’t feel like himself and wasn’t helping the team win games as much as he should’ve at the top of the season. He said when the knee injury happened, he looked at himself in the mirror and tried to figure out how he could be better. –

The Lakers overcame a 21-point deficit — their largest comeback of the season — to improve to 26-28. LeBron had a triple-double in his return (29/13/10). AD had 28 & 17. Russ didn’t play in overtime.
Up next: vs. Milwaukee on Tuesday. –

Bill Oram @
billoram In LeBron’s return after missing the last five games, the Lakers get a much-needed 122-115 win over the Knicks in OT after trailing by 21 in the first half. LeBron with 29-13-10. AD 28 and 17. Malik Monk scored 29. –
11:31 PM

David Hardisty @
clutchfans Imagine being the Lakers. You’re at home. Against the Knicks. LeBron, AD play 40+ minutes each. You have to bench Russ in OT just to have a chance. Do you think you can trust Westbrook in the playoffs?
I think this game could get them talking to the Rockets. –

LeBron with 29 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists in his return. AD with 28 points and 17 rebounds. Malik Monk with 29 points. Russ ended the game sitting on the bench, which is going to be discussed. But a needed W for the Lakers. –

Bill Oram @
billoram Feels like that Ariza 3 might have sealed it. Puts LA ahead 120-113 with 1:12 left in OT. Then again, the Lakers were up seven at this point in the fourth quarter, too. –
11:23 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon In regulation, Trevor Ariza scored a cutting lay-up with 1:17 left to put the Lakers up seven.
In overtime, Trevor Ariza scores a corner 3-pointer to put the Lakers up seven with 1:12 remaining.
Can the Lakers hold on? –

Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Julius Randle scored on AD, but after review, AD did not foul him. Potentially saves the Lakers a point. –

Kristian Winfield @
Krisplashed The Lakers traded 2 NBA champions, Montrezl Harrell and a first-round pick for Russell Westbrook. I was wrong about Westbrook’s standing as an elite player — he’s well past his prime -1 but I was right about this fit.
Buddy Hield made more sense IMO. –
11:14 PM
Fred Katz @
FredKatz LeBron James’ fadeaway at the buzzer is no good. Knicks and Lakers going to overtime tied at 111.
• Barrett 36-8-5
• Randle 28-14-7
• Fournier 15 pts
• James 27-11-8
• Davis 26 & 13
• Monk 27 pts –

Nate Duncan @
NateDuncanNBA Meanwhile great D by the Knicks on that last possession, they had Fournier come over to blow up the AD/LeBron handoff early so someone else would have to make the play, and Monk missed a tough J. –

Nate Duncan @
NateDuncanNBA How on Earth are only three Lakers even IN THE PICTURE as Barrett’s game-tying 3 goes through the net? Fournier dribbled all the way into the paint and kicked it out. –

Bill Oram @
billoram On top of everything else, Anthony Davis is hunched over in pain under the Lakers basket. Walking to the bench but looks like he’s grabbing at his ribs. –

Adi Joseph @
AdiJoseph The way Lakers fans talk about Russell Westbrook makes me think they hadn’t watched Russell Westbrook in four years before this. –
11:08 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon That Ariza bucket might just seal it. Lakers up 110-103 with 1:17 to go. The Knicks have hit just 10 FGs in the second half. –
11:02 PM
Nate Duncan @
NateDuncanNBA Knicks have Mitchell Robinson on Russell Westbrook, but Robinson hasn’t been effective protecting the basket in this stint nonetheless. –
10:55 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon The Lakers have 19 second-chance points, which is a tribute to how Anthony Davis has played tonight. –
10:53 PM
Mike Trudell @
LakersReporter After five games missed due to swelling in his knee, LeBron James looks like … LeBron James.
He has 24 points on 11 of 17 FG’s, 10 boards, 6 assists and 1 steal.
LAL lead 96-93 with 6:59 to go, and AD set to return as LeBron (29 minutes) gets a rest. –

Sam Quinn @

Those are the five players that have earned it tonight. –

jovanbuha Third quarter: Lakers 87, Knicks 84
The Lakers made an impressive comeback in the third, outscoring the Knicks 31-13. Malik Monk scored a season-high 18 points in the frame, bringing his total to 22. AD has 22 pts, 9 rebs and 4 blks. LeBron has 17 pts, 9 rebs and 6 ast. –

Jovan Buha @
jovanbuha Halftime: Knicks 71, Lakers 56
Anthony Davis leads LA w/ 16 points and 3 blocks. LeBron James has 15 points. No other Laker player has more than 7 points. The Lakers cut into the lead late in the half, but their defense has been awful and the Knicks are making everything. –
9:48 PM
Fred Katz @
FredKatz Halftime. Knicks lead the Lakers 71-56.
• Barrett 21-4-4
• Randle 20-7-6
• Fournier 10 pts

Knicks shooting 50% FGs, 45% 3Ps. Lakers just 2-of-14 from deep. –

Kyle Goon @
kylegoon HALFTIME: Knicks 71, Lakers 56.
LeBron with 15, AD with 16. The defense is a hot mess. Russ ended the half on the bench. –

Tommy Beer @
TommyBeer Evan Fournier has made 22 of his last 38 three-pointers attempts – that’s 57.9%
Over the Knicks last 15 games, he is 54-of-106 (51%) –

Steve Popper @
StevePopper Julius Randle just took it to the rim on a break and Anthony Davis made a decision that he was not going to foul – or be on a poster. –
9:41 PM
Kyle Goon @
kylegoon Anthony Davis saved the second of two missed Westbrook jumpers by dunking on Mitchell Robinson — and he had something to say after. Probably hits harder if the Lakers aren’t down by 17. –
9:34 PM
Dave McMenamin @
mcten There were loud boos coming down in L.A. after Russell Westbrook, with the Lakers down 19 in the second quarter to the Knicks, hit the side of the basket on a midrange jump shot. Been a rough night for Westbrook and the Lakers, mirroring a rough season. –

Mike Mazzeo @
MazzNYC No the Knicks should not trade for Russell Westbrook. Lots of unwatchable basketball available –

At this rate, Phoenix will have four players reach double figures by halftime.
Ayton 9. Bridges 8. Booker and Paul each with 7.
PHX: 52.9% FG. WAS: 37% FG. –

Duane Rankin @
DuaneRankin That dive McGee made to rim and Booker looking to him forces defense to adjust.
Booker then adjusted and found Bridges for corner 3.

Rod Boone @
rodboone NBA’s two-minute report says the review of Terry Rozier’s foul resulting in two free throws for Kevin Love was INCORRECT. Rozier’s foul occurred before the shot and he “makes contact to Love’s arm prior to his shooting motion and a non-shooting foul should have been assessed.” –

Brady Hawk @
BradyHawk305 This is a Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler night if they want to win
Must control pace against this Charlotte team
Plus, I’m interested to see the defensive coverages Miami chooses to throw at this team oriented offense –

Marla Ridenour @
MRidenourABJ NBA last 2-minute report said
#Cavs @Kevin Love should not have gotten game-winning free throws vs

Eric Pincus @
EricPincus ICYMI: OKC was OVER the salary cap until the Trevor Ariza trade exception expired on 2/3/22. Now that it’s gone, the team also lost the George Hill trade exception, the remaining NTMLE/BAE and is now very-much UNDER the salary cap. It’s not specifically significant, but factual –
