LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James had 33 points and nine assists, Lonnie Walker scored 21 points and the Los Angeles Lakers overcame the absence of Anthony Davis to beat the Washington Wizards 119-117 on Sunday.
Davis, who leads the Lakers with 27.4 points and 12.1 rebounds, injured his right foot Friday night in a win over Denver and is expected to miss several weeks.
Thomas Bryant added 16 points and 10 rebounds to help the Lakers win for the third time in four games and hand Washington its 10th straight loss and 13th of 14 games.
James appeared to fumble near midcourt, but regained possession and found Bryant under the basket for a tiebreaking dunk with 7.1 seconds to go. Former Laker Kyle Kuzma missed a 3-pointer for Washington with 2.1 seconds left.
Bradley Beal scored 29 points in his return to the Wizards. He had missed six games with a hamstring injury. Kuzma scored 22 and Kristaps Porzingis added 21 for Washington. The Wizards haven’t won since Nov. 28, when they prevailed at home against Minnesota.
