Rutgers 67, Michigan State 37 – Rutgers staggers Michigan State 67-37, 1st win over Spartans
Myles Johnson scored 13 points with 14 rebounds and five blocked shots and Rutgers staggered Michigan State 67-37, allowing the fewest points ever since joining the Big Ten and defeating the Spartans for the first time. The Spartans were coming off a 20-day pause after a series of positive COVID-19 tests among players and staff, and may have been caught flat-footed as Rutgers opened the game on a 15-0 run. It took 32 minutes before Johnson was the first player to reach double-figure scoring, eventually joined by Geo Baker with 11 points and five steals and Jacob Young with 10 points. No Michigan State player scored more than seven.

LeBron James had 22 points and 10 assists, but only two of those points came after halftime. The defending champions have lost back-to-back games, the first losing streak of any kind for the Lakers since before last year’s playoffs. Davis was out with a right quad contusion. Detroit led by one before Griffin’s 3-pointer with 6:54 remaining started a 16-0 run. The Lakers went nearly seven minutes without scoring.
