After a devastating blowout loss in Oklahoma City on April 2, the Lakers lost two of their three stars. Now they face Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets -- as a home underdog.
Steven Adams knows how he got all those offensive boards, Jayson Tatum has his work cut out for him, and Eric Gordon doesn't see much improvement.
LeBron James was named to a 16th All-NBA team Wednesday, breaking a tie with Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most in NBA history. He was joined on the first team by Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis.
The move that fuels James Harden's unguardable offense has also turned him into the NBA's version of an Instagram influencer. But is it actually good basketball?
Luka Doncic and the Mavs blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter and fell 153-149 in overtime to the Rockets, a loss that Doncic said proved the team is young and has "a lot to learn."
For the second year in a row, leading All-Star vote-getter LeBron James drafted Anthony Davis -- now his teammate on the Lakers -- first overall. Giannis Antetokounmpo took Philadelphia big man Joel Embiid with the No. 2 pick.
