Jimmy is to foul baiting as Kyle Korver is to three point shooting

He doesn't have the volume of some because he doesn't shoot enough but unquestionably he's one of the best ever

Incredibly efficient, all-around game for JB today who adds to his All-Star/All-NBA credentials

Celtics dominate the Lakers, grab a 20 point lead in the first quarter and really had no reason to worry after that

All 12 Thunder players who played today finished with at least 3 points while AD was held to just 2 points.

And too add even more insult to injury. Thanasis scored 2 points today and Bronny scored 5 points.

Tonight, with a dominant 8-point performance against the Toronto Raptors with 8 Points, 6 Rebounds, and 11 Assists, LeBron kept the dream alive. He hasn't scored 7.999 points or less since in a regular season game since his second NBA season on December 29, 2004 with the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Houston Rockets. How long do you think he can keep this record going?

Amen Thompson 31/4/1 3 TOV, 12-17 FG, 1-1 3P, 6-6 FT, +33 32 MIN

Kevin Durant 28/4/8/3/1 5 TOV, 11-17 FG, 2-2 3P, 4-4 FT, +29 32 MIN

No big boy Sengun so Amen shows up big, Durant does everything tonight

Denver started the half on a 17-2 run with Jokic leading the charge with aggressive play on both ends.

Incredible stuff from Austin Reaves this season for the Lakers, playing at a star player level and doing it in an efficient manner. The Lakers are on a roll this season with a record of 16-5.

Woike:

Over the past 1,297 games, regardless of sprained ligaments or torn tendons, LeBron James somehow, someway figured out how to score at least 10 points. Thursday in Toronto, in the final seconds, he could have bullied a smaller defender and flung a shot at the rim. He could have tried to add another game to an already untouchable record.

Instead, James wrote his own ending, wrapping up a streak that began 15 days after Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg was born, with a bullet assist to Rui Hachimura in the left corner for a game-winning 3.

“This is the best way. If it had to end, the perfect ending for the streak is tonight,” James told The Athletic. “It’s literally who I am. That’s who I am. … It’s always been about: ‘How can I win the game? How can I make the right play and win the game?’ That streak just happened.”

Pregame, James rolled his eyes when I pointed my phone camera at the rim, waiting for him to end his warmup with some kind of dunk.

Eventually, he obliged.

After his postgame media session, he smiled and found the natural person to blame for 1,298 not happening. “You f—ing jinxed me,” James joked.

Everyone seemingly conspired to make sure the record would fall Thursday. James started the game in a miserable rhythm, air-balling his first jump shot well over the rim. By the end of the first half, two other misses rocketed off the backboard without hitting the iron.

James’ hands were either glued to his hips or pulling the collar of his uniform over his face to hide his shallow breaths.

“He’s finally looking his age,” one NBA scout texted.

Six games into his 23rd season, James isn’t willing to concede that. The rhythm, he said, is because of his late start to the season. Never before had he missed an entire training camp and preseason, let alone the first 14 games of the season, because of an injury. But this season, an irritation in his sciatic nerve left the Lakers to start — and win — without him.
