NEW YORK -- The Los Angeles Lakers started Saturday night's game with a fresh look -- starting Rui Hachimura over Taurean Prince -- and ended it with fierce defense to beat the New York Knicks 113-105, snapping their nine-game winning streak.
The Knicks, playing without Julius Randle, OG Anunoby and Quentin Grimes, held an 86-80 lead after three quarters before L.A.'s defense put the clamps on to close things out.
The Lakers limited the Knicks to 19 points in the fourth, including just 10 points through the first 11 minutes before New York started fouling to extend the game to validate their upset over the Boston Celtics on Thursday with another strong effort.
