LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dalton Knecht tied the NBA’s rookie single-game record with nine 3-pointers while scoring a career-high 37 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Utah Jazz 124-118 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory.

Le Bron James had 26 points and 12 assists, and Anthony Davis had 26 points and 14 rebounds as the Lakers improved to 7-0 at home. Austin Reaves added 17 points for the defending NBA Cup champions, who improved to 2-0 in group play this season.
