The former Vol hit two three-pointers in the loss, giving Knecht 100 made three-pointers for his career.
Knecht's had a solid rookie season with the Lakers despite seeing a wild variance in playing time while playing in a non-featured role.
Through 61 games this season, Knecht is averaging 9.2 points per game and 3.0 rebounds per game. He's connected on 100 of his 274 three-point attempts.
Knecht and the Lakers will be back in action on Friday night for a key Western Conference showdown against the Denver Nuggets.
