Lakers Extend Winning Streak, Defeat Jazz

Dalton Knecht of the Los Angeles Lakers made history by tying the NBA's single-game rookie record with nine three-pointers, scoring a career-high 37 points in a 124-118 victory over the Utah Jazz. The Lakers secured their sixth consecutive win, with LeBron James and Anthony Davis each contributing 26 points. Knecht's performance, particularly a remarkable stretch in the third quarter where he scored 21 points, showcased his potential as a key asset for the team. The Jazz, now on a three-game losing streak, struggled to contain Knecht and fell to 3-11 this season. Lauri Markkanen led the Jazz with 25 points, but their late rally was insufficient to overcome a 25-point deficit. The Lakers improved to 7-0 at home, bolstering their chances in the NBA Cup group play.
