A 15-2 Lakers blitz to start the 2nd Q has them up 48-35 into a Cavaliers time out.
LeBron was the point man, and is up to 11 points on 5 of 7 FG’s thus far plus 7 assists after finding Russell (15 points) and Prince (8 points) for B2B buckets. – 4:11 PM

First quarter: Lakers 36, Cavaliers 33
DLo has 10 points. LeBron has 9 points and 4 assists. AD has 7 points, 2 steals and 1 block. LA is shooting 59.1% overall and 50% on 3s (5 of 10). The Cavs are dominating the glass 14-7. LA’s bench unit was underwhelming. – 4:06 PM

I swear D’Angelo Russell has made more “no way he’s making that shot” shots this season than every other Laker combined during the LeBron era. – 4:05 PM

Caris LeVert repeatedly went to work against whichever smaller defender had been on him, and scored 8 bench points in 6 minutes off the Cavs bench.
But LAL got late 1st Q 3’s from Prince and Russell (10 points to lead all scorers), enough for a 36-33 lead. – 4:05 PM

A quick 7-0 Cavs run against a small Lakers bench group (Vincent, Dinwiddie, Prince) plus Reaves and Davis has LAL down 4, forcing their first time out. – 3:59 PM

A 20-16 start for the Lakers. Timeout Cleveland with 6:36 left in the first quarter. LA is moving the ball well and playing with great pace. They’re shooting 72.7%. LeBron has been locked in with 7 points and 4 assists already. – 3:49 PM

Strong start for the Lakers on what’s typically a tricky transition back to the home building coming off a long trip. They hit 8 of 11 FG’s to take a 20-16 lead into the first Cleveland time out, with all five starters scoring. – 3:48 PM

The West playoff picture is beginning to crystalize a bit.
MIN/DEN/OKC will be Top 3, barring a crazy collapse.
LAC will be 4
DAL/PHX will be 5/6
NOP/SAC/LAL will be 7/8/9
GSW will be 10. HOU will be 11. pic.twitter.com/6DC2xOrOMs – 1:53 PM

Lakers are in control of their own destiny situation after Friday’s results. Win out and they’re guaranteed to climb to at least 8 and 7 is semi-realisitic, though winning out will be it’s own challenge – 1:46 PM

In the simplest, most direct terms, if #Pelicans win Sunday at Phoenix, they’re back in legitimate contention for a top-6 seed (would have same record as Suns). A loss realistically means trying to fend off Kings, Lakers, Warriors and get most optimal play-in position possible – 1:11 PM

Another mark for LeBron: He will finish this season averaging at least 23.6 points, and that will be the highest average ever for the player who is the oldest in the league that season.
Kareem averaged 23.4 points in 1985-86. That was the record for oldest player — until now. – 10:50 AM
