Celtics rock Lakers in rivalry’s biggest regular-season rout in 50 years

“I mean, listen, it was just a good, old-fashioned butt whooping,” James said after L.A.’s 139-107 loss. “That’s all. They beat us in all facets of the game: outside, interior, points off turnovers, offensive rebounds. So it’s the main ingredients in the L.” It was only the seventh instance in the history of the Lakers-Celtics […]

Mavs’ Dwight Powell injures right Achilles against Clippers

Powell did not return to the game, which the Mavs lost 110-107. A torn Achilles probably would sideline Powell for the rest of the season. He will have an MRI on Wednesday. “Feared to be severe, but we won’t know for sure until there’s a diagnostic test done,” Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said after the […]

Lakers’ Anthony Davis available to play vs. Celtics after missing 5 games

Coach Frank Vogel said that Davis will have a minutes restriction of 28 minutes against the Celtics. The Lakers also said veteran point guard and former Celtics star Rajon Rondo (finger) is available to play Monday night.

How Frank Vogel won over the Lakers and their superstars

Last May, alongside general manager Rob Pelinka, Vogel took the podium on the team’s practice court. Just hours earlier, Magic Johnson had accused Pelinka of backstabbing him during his rocky tenure as the Lakers’ president, a post Johnson had relinquished the previous month during an impromptu hallway resignation. Johnson’s departure was soon followed by the […]

Lakers’ Anthony Davis questionable for game against Rockets

Anthony Davis, out the past four games after taking a hard foul on his backside against the New York Knicks, did not practice with the team on Friday and is listed as questionable for the Rockets game. Davis did go through an individual workout on the court after practice, however, mixing in light sprinting and […]

Markelle Fultz takes over late in win vs. Lakers: Showed ‘what I can do’

The Magic edged the Los Angeles Lakers 119-118, snapping L.A.’s nine-game winning streak and Fultz — now a third-year vet but still only 21 years old — looked every bit the special talent that made him the No. 1 pick in 2017. Fultz, whom the Philadelphia 76ers gave up on last season after a perplexing […]

Fantasy NBA Daily Notes: Guess who’s back in Brooklyn

Meanwhile, in Motown on Saturday, the absence of All-Star forward Blake Griffin has fueled an uptick in fantasy value from journeyman Christian Wood, who delivered 17 points on 12 shots. That impressively went along with 14 rebounds and three blocks in 26 minutes of play for the Pistons forward in a loss to the Bulls. […]

Lakers’ LeBron James out vs. Thunder with flu-like symptoms

LeBron James was ruled out because of an illness and flu-like symptoms and Danny Green also missed the game because of a sore right hip, the team announced. Anthony Davis, who missed Friday’s win in Dallas because of a bruised buttocks injury suffered earlier in the week versus New York, was also ruled out. The […]

Ten NBA things I like and don’t like, including the Lakers without LeBron

It’s really the only blemish on an otherwise dominant season: The Lakers average 100.5 points per 100 possessions with LeBron James on the bench — three points worse than the league’s clankiest offense. It’s all shooting: The Lakers with LeBron sitting don’t get nearly as many profitable shots — corner 3s and attempts in the […]

Knicks’ Bobby Portis ejected after knocking Lakers’ Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on the head

The Lakers led the Knicks 39-30 with 8:02 remaining in the second quarter when Caldwell-Pope streaked in for a transition layup off a Rajon Rondo feed. Portis, trailing from behind, swung his right arm and struck the top of Caldwell-Pope’s head with the inside of his biceps. The blow sent Caldwell-Pope’s headband flying, and the […]
