Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks
· National Basketball AssociationLeBron James has a triple-double and another win at Madison Square Garden as Lakers beat Knicks

James' big night was quickly overshadowed by news that Luka Doncic is headed to the Lakers in a blockbuster three-team trade that will send Anthony Davis to Dallas.
A person with knowledge of the agreement said early Sunday that Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris are headed to the Lakers, while Davis and Max Christie are going to Dallas. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither team can announce the deal while it awaits league approval.
James improved to 23-8 at his favorite arena to visit, easily surpassing the 28 points per game he had been averaging in the building. He also became the seventh NBA player with 2,500 3-pointers. James made three of the Lakers' 19, one off their season high.
Austin Reaves added 27 points and Rui Hachimura had 21 for the Lakers, who shot 58% from the field.
Josh Hart had 26 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in his seventh triple-double of the season, but the Knicks had their five-game winning streak snapped. Jalen Brunson added 17 points and Mikal Bridges had 16.
Knicks: More important than the game for the Knicks is the OG Anunoby, who limped off with a sprained right foot in the third quarter after scoring 13 points.
