Mavs won in LA despite shooting 39.6%. They were 0-6 last season when they shot <40%. For 3 qtrs, their defense was, far and away, the best it had looked all season. The work on Anthony Davis was SO impressive. 10 pts on 10 FGA? Maybe getting to practice DOES matter – 10:50 AM

LeBron appeared to tweak something after Williams wrapped him up on a transition drive. He missed both FT’s, after a pair of misses from Hayes, with Dallas finally finding the bucket with a pair of buckets to get to a 99-92 lead with 3:15 to play.
And then … LeBron hit a 3. – 12:39 AM

The Lakers beat the Jazz, 131-99, to win their group and clinch a spot in the quarterfinals in the in-season tournament. An added bonus: LAL was able to hold LeBron James to 24 minutes in the win, with the second night of a b2b coming Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. – 12:33 AM

Mavs play the Lakers in LA tomorrow. Tonight the Lakers drilled the Jazz 131-99. They won Group A and moved to the knockout stage of the In-Season Tournament based on that result. AD & Lebron barely played more mins than pts scored as Davis had 26 pts in 29 mins & LBJ 17 in 24. – 12:20 AM

Typically, LeBron would start the 4th Q, but with LAL up 102-75 and on the front end of a B2B (vs. DAL tomorrow night), Darvin Ham may try to get through the 4th without going back to LeBron (24 minutes) or AD (29). – 11:51 PM

Third quarter: Lakers 102, Jazz 75
LA is 12 minutes away from winning Group A. Anthony Davis has 26 points and 16 rebounds. LeBron James has 17 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. Both are likely done for the night. Some impressive Max Christie minutes filling in with Cam Reddish… – 11:50 PM

Looks like LeBron will finish at 24 minutes and David 29 minutes. If you’re the Lakers, textbook way to put away Utah before facing Mavs tomorrow. Also helps that’s it’s a home-home B2B for Lakers. – 11:46 PM

Whether this stretch is merely hot shooting, a newfound efficiency because of LA’s five-out offense, another level of mastery or some combination, LeBron James continues to inexplicably defy the aging process — with no sign of slowing down.

Three and a half years removed from their 2020 title run, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss says the race is already on to capture title number 18. This season, despite some flashes of greatness from LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers have struggled to capture the same magic they had years ago, but the team knows that fans expect nothing but the best. “From the fans perspective, they don’t like to be patient,” said Buss via the LA Times. “Fans want to see the continuity/growth. Laker fans have been spoiled as they should be, but it’s been a long time since we’ve hoisted an NBA Finals in our arena, so we want to get back there.” -via Fade Away World / November 19, 2023
Legion Hoops: Kevin Garnett says Jordan Poole doesn’t belong in the league (via @shobasketball , https://youtu.be/IXxjOiAgQuA?si=EiorDrr3NqUL3aNI…) -via Twitter / November 23, 2023
“You flexing championship, but you ain’t bringing champion environment in here,” the 15x All-Star mentioned. Garnett carried on with his harsh judgments, stating, “You learned this in Golden State, ni**a?”. The NBA icon added, “This what you brought from there?”. He berated the 24-year-old, highlighting, “They got your a** out of there cause you weren’t going to fall in line”. Failing to control his rage, Kevin put forward a jarring remark, mentioning, “Ni**as like this don’t belong in our league”. “I don’t want my son under no ni**a like that,” the 2008 NBA champion mentioned justifying his stance. Surprisingly, Garnett was not the first one to showcase concerns over the inclusion of Poole into the Wizards franchise. -via The Sports Rush / November 23, 2023
During a game where the defenses of both teams were virtually non-existent, Haliburton was able to steer the Pacers to victory — a continuation of his stellar play over the past few weeks. On the season, Haliburton is now averaging 24.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 12.0 assists per game on 50-40-90 shooting, and in doing so, the Pacers star has even drawn MVP consideration from Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett. “Haliburton in that convo. What convo? Yeah… that convo 💯 🔥,” Garnett wrote on his official Twitter (X) account. -via Clutch Points / November 22, 2023
