Alex Schiffer @
Alex__Schiffer End of the third quarter: This has turned into the James Johnson show. He’s got two late baskets to get him to 14 points off the bench tonight. Nets lead the Kings 86-83. This would be a bad loss if Sacramento can pull this out. –

This dude deserves a ring. He came here to win a ring. He’s probably not gonna get a ring, and that sucks because he should’ve been a cult hero two years ago. –
11:31 PM
Mike Trudell @
LakersReporter Portland hit 3 straight 3’s to nearly erase LAL’s double-digit lead, and LAL needed a last-second-of-the-shot-clock triple from ‘Melo (his 4th) to snap the run.
AD scored on the next trip on a pass from Westbrook to put LAL up 44-38. –

Alex Schiffer @
