LeBron James and Lakers collapse late to lose against Knicks

LeBron James and the South Bay Lakers nearly added another victory to the Lakers’ NBA record before suffering a late collapse against the worst team in the NBA — the New York Knicks.

The game came down to the last 37 seconds, and after Kadeem Allen’s two huge free throws gave the Knicks a lead, LeBron James was blocked by Mario Hezonja at the buzzer, handing the Lakers a 124-123 loss, a three-game losing streak and a 31-39 record.

Things didn’t start well for the Lakers, either.
