The Los Angeles Lakers dominated the New York Knicks for three quarters before squandering much of their lead and holding on for a 100-90 victory on Wednesday.
Kobe Bryant scored 34 points as last season's NBA champions cruised to a fourth successive win despite a poor fourth quarter.
The Knicks trailed by 25 points with 9:19 remaining but quickly cut the deficit with an 11-0 run against the Los Angeles bench players.
Nate Robinson and Wilson Chandler both had 15 points for the Knicks (3-11), who shot just 39 percent and were out-rebounded 60-36.
All of the Lakers starting five scored in double figures, but but received little support from the bench.
