The Nets beat the Lakers 111-108 in a game in which Los Angeles was missing one of its best players in LeBron James, but still had Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves available to make things interesting. Forward Noah Clowney came off Brooklyn's bench to put up 19 points and five rebounds in his second game back after a 1-month layoff with a left ankle sprain while birthday boy Keon Johnson poured in 18 points,

Gabe Vincent scores 24 points, but Doncic and Reaves combine to shoot 11 for 40 from the field (4 for 15 from 3-point range) and the Lakers allow too many offensive rebounds in a 111-108 loss.

Cameron Johnson scored 18 points, including a clutch foul-line jumper over Luka Doncic with 59.6 seconds remaining as the Brooklyn Nets snapped a seven-game losing streak by holding on for a 111-108 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday in New York.
