JJ Redick on Luka's shooting struggles: "We trust Luka as a shooter and a decision-maker... we've all had stretches like that."

JJ Redick says Rui Hachimura has a left knee strain. The Lakers will have a more significant update in the next 24 hours or so.

The Lakers win an ugly one 111-102 over the Wolves. LeBron James ends the night with 31 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists. Luka struggled with his 3-point shot but got to the line and hit a big shot from deep in the fourth. He ends the night with 23 points.

LeBron spins and makes the fadeaway bucket to give the Lakers some breathing room. L.A. is up 107-98 with a little over a minute to go.

Winning Ugly > Losing Pretty

LeBron James enters the game to save the Lakers

JJ Redick calls a timeout as the Wolves cut the lead down to six points. Poor shooting, even worse defense, and Rui Hachimura exiting have led to this being a game once again.

Jaxson Hayes is heading back to the locker room. He took a nasty fall the play before.

Anthony Edwards received another technical, he has been ejected from the game.

The Lakers lead the Wolves 58-47 at the half. LeBron James 19 pts, 5 rebs, 3 asts Luka Dončić 13 pts, 7 rebs, 4 asts Austin Reaves 9 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asts

LeBron James with another amazing lob dunk. At 40 years old, this stuff is just silly.

LeBron James is now 4-5 from 3-point range tonight. The Lakers lead 47-26.

The Lakers are up by 20 with under nine minutes left in the second. Their defense is suffocating the Wolves and they are winning the rebounding battle 18-6 and outscoring Minnesota in the paint 20-8.

The Lakers lead the Wolves 33-17 after one quarter. Los Angeles is doing everything but handing out popcorn in this one. LeBron James has 10 points and Luka Dončić has scored 11 points.

The swarming and switching has been like a well oiled machine. I really need to watch some of the previous games to see the biggest difference beyond the personnel changes.

Jordan Goodwin has been such a good pickup by the Lakers.

Googles when the Lakers play the Thunder...

This MOVES me

Luka Dončić is Showtime

Austin Reaves hits a 3-pointer for the Lakers to begin the night against the Wolves.

Starters for Lakers-Wolves. Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo will play.

Wolves head coach Chris Finch says Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo are both game-time decisions tonight against the Lakers.

JJ Redick mentions that Luka Dončić being on the team helps guys like Austin Reaves and LeBron James since he can bring the ball up the court and be another on-ball initiator.

JJ Redick said he liked the defensive effort during the last five minutes against the Mavs.

Beyoncé really did her damn thing on "Cowboy Carter"

Watching the Detroit Pistons is a good time.

Here is your Sparks Unrivaled update. www.silverscreenandroll.com/2025/2/26/24...

This is my goal for every game story and the fact it hit someone as I intended means everything. Check out my article on yesterday’s game. www.silverscreenandroll.com/2025/2/25/24...

"Now that the game is over, the Lakers and Luka can move past this and embrace their new normal.... it’s 'Full Tank. No Mercy,' from here on out." Story below on Luka turning the page on Dallas. www.silverscreenandroll.com/2025/2/25/24...

"I don't know... it was so weird the moments." - Luka on how he dealt with the emotions of playing against the Mavs.

"If you watch this team the last six weeks or so, LeBron has been playing at an All-NBA defensive level" - JJ Redick postgame.

"We don't win the game if LeBron doesn't take over, we don't win if Doe [Doriann FInney-Smith] doesn't make three great plays." - JJ Redick postgame

"LeBron took over that game" - JJ Redick postgame

The Lakers beat the Mavs 107-99. Luka Dončić earned a triple-double against his former team with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. LeBron James had 27 points and 12 rebounds and Austin Reaves finished with 20 points. L.A. has now won three straight.

I love basketball

Luka was looking for that outlet pass the moment he touched the ball. He didn't have it open initially, but he took a couple of steps and then launched it to LeBron for the dunk. L.A. remains ahead 96-91 with 4:05 to go.

Two-man game between Luka and LeBron leads to a huge 3-pointer by James.

Every game, LeBron does something that breaks my brain. Tonight it was him catching a bad pass and turning it into a lob layup.

Take a shot every time LeBron plays through contact and gets no call.
