NEW YORK — Sunday marked the first-year anniversary of the Lakers’ acquisition of Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks. Lakers coach JJ Redick admitted he felt “stressed” knowing about the trade before the Lakers played the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden that night. While his stress may have faded, Redick couldn’t have liked what he saw from the Lakers one year later. Despite a strong effort from Doncic, the Lakers struggled with their shooting and lost 112-100 to the New York Knicks Sunday night. OG Anunoby had 25 points, eight rebounds and three assists to lead the Knicks (31-18) who have won six straight.
