L.A. stays hot as LeBron laughs off knee clash
The Lakers beat the Jazz on Thursday, 19-7 now and still third in the West. LeBron James scored 28 points but took a knee knock from Walter Clayton Jr. He said he ‘dodged a bullet’ afterward — which might be the first time a Laker’s real defence stopped anything all night.
Luka Doncic’s 45-point triple-double stole headlines, while coach JJ Redick praised the squad’s second-half defence. Next up, the Clippers at the Intuit Dome on Saturday.
