Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht reacts to his third consecutive 3-point basket during the third quarter of their game against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. Knecht tied an NBA rookie record by making nine 3-point shots on his way to 37 points in a 124-118 win. LOS ANGELES — Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht was already on a hot streak entering Tuesday night’s home game against the Utah Jazz.
His last 3-pointer – a 26-footer off-the-catch on a pass from LeBron James put him at 36 points for the game – tied him with Rodrigue Beaubois , Yogi Ferrell and Keyonte George for the rookie single-game record. Knecht received another standing ovation when he re-entered the game with 6:11 left, but he only took one shot – a 3-pointer with 1:49 left that hit the front of the rim.
The Jazz stuck around despite Knecht’s hot shooting, cutting their deficit to seven late in their 43-point fourth quarter, but the Lakers maintained their margin to close out the win.With their sixth consecutive victory, the Lakers improved them to 10-4 overall and 7-0 at home, their best home start since 2001. The six-game win streak is their longest since February 2021, shortly after their championship run in the Florida bubble.
