Dalton Knecht has entered the zone! The Los Angeles Lakers rookie was extraordinary at the end of the match against the Suns with 20 CONSECUTIVE POINTS including a shot to bring the two teams into overtime. The purple and gold owe him the victory (128-122)!
If Anthony Davis was extraordinary throughout the match against the Phoenix Suns with 35 points and 10 rebounds, it is the rookie Dalton Knecht who will be remembered after an extraordinary end to the match.
After two first free throws from the winger and a few shots subsequently conceded by the Lakers, the purple and gold found themselves trailing by six points with less than a minute to go. Dalton Knecht then comes out of his box by scoring two long-range shots, including one five seconds from time to send the two teams into overtime!
DALTON KNECHT CLUTCH. 🔥🔥

And in Overtime, it was once again he who took charge by scoring the first 12 points for the Californian franchise. Everything goes, difficult 3-pointers, controlled drives, and-one to finish. The offensive range is complete and Dalton Knecht was keen to prove it!
