Luka Doncic's foul came at a cost for the Lakers against the Bucks, as they fell 101-105 at Crypto.com Arena on Friday.
Moments after the San Antonio Spurs’ 107-91 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Frost Bank Center, tensions flared between Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt and Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan.
Lakers coach JJ Redick played Jaxson Hayes over Deandre Ayton in the fourth quarter of the win over Memphis. He explained why.
James himself has been playing excellent ball recently, averaging 25.6 points on 55% shooting over the past five games. At 25-11 the Lakers are third in the Western Conference and will be quite a challenge for any team who sees them in the postseason. Especially if LeBron is completely bought in to this being Dončić's team.
In the battle for second place in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a tough 107–91 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, marking their 12th double-digit defeat of the season. It should be noted, however, that they were without LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.
