LeBron came into this matchup hitting 61.5% of his shots, and 66.6% of his 3’s in the 3 prior OKC games this season.
Tonight, he’s now 6 of 10, and 1 of 2 from 3 after hitting his first triple.
LAL lead 73-64 after an and-1 from Davis on the next trip. – 12:02 AM

You can’t ask for a better defensive possession on LeBron than that by Aaron Wiggins. Cason Wallace then grabs a rebound and throws it off Hayes to retain possession for Chet Holmgren to knock down a low post jumper. Good opening sequence to the 2nd quarter. – 11:10 PM

More on this storyline
Just over a month ago, a group of financiers and sports team owners, led by Fenway Sports Group, said it would invest up to $3 billion in the PGA Tour, a watershed deal that gave players equity in the league as it fends off competition from the Saudi-backed LIV Golf. What wasn’t reported then was that several powerful people in sports, music and entertainment had also invested personally. Two names are likely to draw attention: LeBron James, the superstar basketball player, and Drake, the rapper. The investors are bringing more than money. F.S.G. and fellow backers, including the billionaires Steve Cohen, Arthur Blank and Marc Lasry, believe they can help reinvigorate the sport, particularly as the value of media rights soars. James and Drake are committing additional capital as “strategic investors,” and are expected to use their marketing power to help the tour broaden its audience. James and the PGA Tour commissioner, Jay Monahan, were at the home of Tom Werner, F.S.G.’s chairman, recently discussing just that, DealBook hears. -via New York Times / March 5, 2024
