The NBA Lakers relied on star Doncic and 40-year-old veteran "Zhanhuang" James to join hands in overtime on the 7th, and finally reversed the Knicks 113-109, winning 8 consecutive victories and continuing to consolidate the second position in the West.

The Lakers showed defensive resilience in the fourth quarter and the playoff, allowing the Knicks to score 15 points on 5-of-14 shooting in the fourth quarter, and only letting the opponent shoot 2-of-10 in the playoff, completely freezing the opponent's offense.

"In the fourth quarter we only allowed the opponent to score 15 points. We had a period of really bad shooting conditions, especially three-point shooting. But we stuck to a defensive foundation, and then those outside shots started to hit. James said.

In addition, Doncic also believes that this kind of game helps the team build more chemistry: "This kind of victory is really sweet. We have to go into the next game with the same mentality. I know it's going to be tough, but we have to go into every game with the same attitude. ”

Coach Redick praised the team's hard work: "It felt like a playoff game at times, and our players really managed to win with resilience. ”

Doncic played 43 minutes that day, scoring 32 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, and 4 steals, with a game-high plus/minus of +16. James also played 43 minutes, scoring 31 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 hot pot performance.
