LeBron James had to leave the game with a groin injury, but Rajon Rondo and Ivica Zubac stepped up to lead the Lakers past the Golden State Warriors in a crazy Christmas Day blowout.

The Los Angeles Lakers lost star forward LeBron James, but still gave their fans a convincing 127-101 win over the Golden State Warriors in a conflicting rollercoaster of a Christmas Day game.

Why don’t the Rockets make 26 threes every night? If I were coaching the team, I would just tell them to make all their threes every night. Seems easy.

It’s unlikely that Houston will set the three point record again tonight, but that doesn’t mean that the bevy of triples isn’t a wanted commodity. The Rockets have set all kinds of three point records over the last two seasons under Mike D’Antoni, so it was about time they finally broke the single-game record too.

The Warriors needed 29 points from Kevin Durant and a career-high 23 from Jonas Jerebko to beat a feisty Mavs squad.

Kevin Durant’s legacy with the Golden State Warriors has been defined by a couple of big wing threes in big moments and he hit another from that familiar spot tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Utah Jazz tried their very best to once again hand the victory to the Golden State Warriors. However, a pair of Donovan Mitchell free throws with 2.5 seconds sealed a 108-104 win — the fourth straight Jazz victory in the confines of Vivint Arena.

The Lakers bounced back from a rough road trip with an impressive win at home against Anthony Davis and the Pelicans, thanks to some impressive play on both ends from Ivica Zubac.

The Los Angeles Lakers got to see their center of the future at his best on Friday when they hosted the New Orleans Pelicans at Staples Center. No, I’m not talking about Anthony Davis: I’m, of course, talking about the one and only Ivica Zubac.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — LeBron James is bumping Nas, Biggie and Busta Rhymes in the Lakers’ locker room before the game. He bobs his head as he mentally prepares himself to music that came from New York.

The Spurs have been on a hot streak lately, and tonight it was the bench players who put away the Minnesota Timberwolves with hot shooting from Marco Belinelli and Davis Bertans sealing the game in the second half as LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan sat on the bench resting for the second half. Derrick White had a solid game on defense, taking on taller players on switches and holding his own as often as not. Robert Covington was solid for the Timberwolves, hitting outside shots and playing defense, but they were missing their starting point guard, Jeff Teague, and with Derrick Rose missing the second half with an injury, the Wolves couldn’t do much on offense as the Spurs won easily.

The Warriors got a full team effort as they made quick work of the visitors from Memphis

The Golden State Warriors demolished the Memphis Grizzlies in Oracle Arena, 110-93. The champs came out and knocked out their opponents in the first half with a vicious opening volley, and the Grizz never recovered.
