LeBron James is playing at an MVP-caliber level too – he’s one of four players averaging at least 25, eight and five – but will this early workload come back to haunt the Lakers? One of many breakdowns here, at @TheAthletic

Dave McMenamin: LeBron James credited Dillon Brooks’ competitive nature at shootaround in Houston and said he earned the contract he got from the Rockets coming off the Grizzlies-Lakers playoff series. pic.twitter.com/BHrDGdBybz -via Twitter @mcten / November 8, 2023
LeBron James: The game isn’t won or lost in the last 2 mins! If you know the game things happen throughout the 1st, 2nd. 3rd and first 10 mins of 4th that has MAJOR impact on outcomes. -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / November 7, 2023
Set to face LeBron James for the first time since last season’s Memphis Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Lakers playoff series, Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks is remaining confident about the matchup. When asked about James, Brooks told reporters, “Ready to lock him up. He’s been shooting the ball well, he’s been playing well, so just there to make him tired, make him get into that 4th quarter early.” -via Sports Illustrated / November 7, 2023
