Luka on Dorian Finney-Smith scoring his Laker high (20 pts on 6/11 from 3): “I just told him today if he doesn’t want to shoot it, I’ll shoot it.”
DFS’ response: “It feels good when guys like him and Bron are telling me to shoot. Because it could be the other way around … s—.” – 1:49 AM

With a 104-98 Lakers victory, they’re now 1-1 vs. Houston this year, and can secure the tiebreaker with a win in the April 11 rematch in LA.
Six big 3’s apiece from DFS + Vincent resulted from Houston’s determination to send extra attention to Luka/LeBron/Reaves. – 12:46 AM

The Lakers validate their strong win in Memphis with a great win against the surging Rockets, 104-98, to start homestand. HOU came in winners of 12 of their last 13 and LAL’s defense held them to 41.6% shooting. Luka 20p 9a 6r; DFS 20p 6r; Gabe 20p; LeBron 16p 8r; AR 12p 8r. – 12:31 AM

LeBron went up like a WR to secure a key inbounds pass, then hit the ensuing FT’s after Thompson wrapped him up to put LA up 102-98 with 11.1 to play. – 12:26 AM

Jordan Goodwin goes from turning down a three that he should have shot to tracking down the three that was missed by LeBron, and getting the offensive rebound/putback. That’s incredible (and redemptive) effort. AK – 10:40 PM

NFL again showing NBA who’s boss, announces plans to have 2 Christmas games on Netflix and one Christmas game on Amazon in 2025. Christmas is a Thursday, FYI. So streaming football against presumably LeBron vs. Steph and 4 other NBA games. NFL dominates ratings vs NBA. – 10:24 PM

Excellent defensive stretch here from the Lakers with their small ball unit, with the low man (often LeBron) impacting the Rockets inside.
Lakers went on a 9-0 run to take a 12-9 lead. – 10:18 PM

Good one about to start in LA. Lakers wing stars vs. Houston’s waves of athletic wing defenders. LeBron vs. Dillon Brooks. Playoff seeding at stake. Neither team downplaying importance of this one. – 10:04 PM

More on this storyline
Jorge Sierra: Nikola Vucevic keeps moving up in all-time rankings and is now No. 42 in rebounds ahead of Shawn Marion. Also: Anthony Davis tied Jason Terry in scoring at No. 67 and LeBron James passed Andre Drummond in blocks for No. 70 in NBA histrory. -via Twitter @hoopshype / April 1, 2025
James finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and four assists. “This year in particular, it’s so close and people are jumping each other, falling behind, whatever the case may be,” James said about following the standings. “I don’t do it every day, but it’s talked about pretty much all the time and you kind of see where you’re at. For us obviously, our mission is to lock in a playoff spot and not have to play in the play-in. So, we understand what’s at stake.” -via Los Angeles Times / April 1, 2025
When pressed on who would win in a one-on-one matchup, Williams didn’t hesitate. “I’m taking the killer! I’m taking MJ. Yeah, it’s going to be a close score. They’re two of the best that ever did it. But that boy is strong, you know? LeBron is STRONG. But if I say MJ, LeBron might get mad, and if I say LeBron, Michael and Charles Oakley are going to get mad. I can’t win this one! I’ve been in enough trouble in my life!” -via ScoopB.com / March 31, 2025
