Jovan Buha @jovanbuha Final: Pelicans 123, Lakers 95
The Lakers drop to 27-33, starting their post-ASB stretch 0-2. They were outscored 82-58 over the final 26 minutes of the game. LeBron James finished with 32 points. The game ended in a chorus of boos.

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS Pretend this was legal. Who says no:
The Lakers agree to bench LeBron and AD for the rest of the year. The Pelicans waive their 2023 swap rights and their right to defer the 2024 pick the Lakers owe them to 2025.
Pels would basically guarantee themselves a top-10 pick this year – 12:22 AM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Bron and Russ being out there feels more like Vogel telling them to lay in the bed they made tonight – 12:18 AM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar LeBron, there’s a team that has never booed their home team, you are a big fan of their GM and they have 7 draft picks in Bronny’s draft class. 🤷 – 12:16 AM
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine Ingram is just GIVING it to the Lakers. Goodness. No spirit or fight out there from the home team.
Gotta factor in the injuries but man … it is astonishing to see a LeBron James team this punchless.
He’s never had less help and never needed more. – 11:56 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha Third quarter: Pelicans 95, Lakers 65
The third quarter was a calamity of errors — turnovers, missed layups, boos. LA’s body language and effort said it all. In a disappointing season full of lows, this is a new low point. LA is up to 21 turnovers — LeBron & Russ each have 7. – 11:55 PM

Christian Clark @cclark_13 Naji Marshall swatted LeBron off the backboard. Hang the banner. – 11:53 PM
Rick Noland @RickNoland Ultimate respect for his talent, but more he plays more we see LeBron should never be a GM – 11:46 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel CJ McCollum pull-up 3-pointer makes it a 72-53 lead for the Pelicans … and then LeBron James whips a cross court bounce pass to someone sitting courtside. – 11:37 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory LeBron is getting zero lift on his jumper tonight. You can tell that knee isn’t right. – 11:29 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha Halftime: Pelicans 51, Lakers 40
Awful end to the half for LA, who was outscored 10-3 over the final 2:31 to turn a 4-point deficit into an 11-point deficit. LeBron James has 13 points. No other Laker is in double figures. LA has 16 turnovers to just 8 assists. – 11:08 PM

Will Guillory @WillGuillory End of the 1st half: Pelicans 51, Lakers 40
Ingram 11 pts
McCollum 7 pts (3-9 FG)
Valanciunas 6 pts & 6 rebs
One of the ugliest halves basketball I’ve seen all year. Lakers turned the ball over 16 times. The Pels shot 4-14 on 3s, 5-10 on FTs. LeBron and Russ have been rough. – 11:07 PM

Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers LeBron was ball-watching on that Snell three like he was a spectator in the crowd. AK – 11:04 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Four turnovers apiece for LeBron and Westbrook now, as LAL’s total climbs to 13.
LAL got within 1 before the most recent 2 TO’s sparked a 6-0 NOP run to put them up 40-33. – 10:56 PM

Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel For instance, did you guys catch Carmelo Anthony lazily double CJ McCollum without any regard for Jonas Valanciunas (Melo’s man) who walked into the lane totally unabated and scored the lay-in over LeBron? – 10:45 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel This Lakers defense is hysterically bad with LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony in the front court. Wow. – 10:44 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha First quarter: Pelicans 24, Lakers 20
The Lakers had nine turnovers in the first quarter — seven of which came from their starters (three from Dwight Howard). This new starting unit’s offense continues to be subpar. Russell Westbrook has 8 points. LeBron James has 6. – 10:39 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Lakers trail 24-20 after 1.
Last game, they were 0 for 10 from 3 in the 1st Q against the Clippers, and started 0 for 5 tonight until THT hit one in the final minute.
Big issue was turnovers, with Dwight Howard committing 3,
and LeBron, Westbrook and Monk 2 each. – 10:37 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen Ed Malloy on LAC possession after the review: “We deemed that it was a … good blocked shot, so it is technically an inadvertent whistle. Replay review showed that when the whistle was blown Robert Covington had control of the basketball, therefore, Los Angeles got possession.” – 10:32 PM
Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP Jayson Tatum’s final game as a 23-year old is Tuesday. Tonight he passed Anthony Davis into what will be his final spot, 12th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list for players 23 and under.
Trailing only LeBron, KD, Melo, T-Mac, Kobe, Booker, Shaq, KAT, Dwight, Wiggins and Giannis – 10:27 PM

Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina LeBron James trying to attack the basket early. I suspect the Pelicans will start throwing defending LeBron withs some of their bigger players – 10:16 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard #Pistons Dwane Casey on finishing the game with Killian Hayes: “I thought he was doing a better job on (Terry) Rozier and using his size and slowing him down.” – 10:15 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII Casey said he though Killian was doing the best job on Rozier, which is why he finished the game. – 10:15 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa On closing the game with Killian, Casey said he liked his job defensively on Rozier and how he moved the ball. – 10:15 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer Herbert Jones opens defensively against LeBron. CJ McCollum matched up with Westbrook, a player he’s very familiar with from playing in same division and meeting in West playoffs – 10:13 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13 I can’t believe LeBron couldn’t believe he fouled Jaxson Hayes. – 10:13 PM
Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane The explanation Stephen Silas got as to why the Clippers were awarded possession after their successful challenge is that Robert Covington had the ball when the whistle blew. He didn’t seem pumped with that explanation – 9:51 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin “It’s not just on Coach, it’s not just on Jae. It’s on all of us. We were on desperation trying to come back anyway. I don’t think we should’ve been in that situation.” Devin Booker.

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif The Clippers come out of this timeout with 3 minutes to go in the fourth quarter going small, with Zubac off the floor, Covington back on. – 9:19 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA Frustration challenge here by Jason Kidd. From our vantage point, Dwight Powell sent Canadian teammate Andrew Wiggins flying chasing after a loose ball. Very tough to overturn something like this. – 9:07 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews In addition to Wiggins’ 13 first-half points, he held the Mavericks to 2-of-11 shooting and forced three turnovers when he was the primary defender. He and Gary Payton II held Luka Doncic to just 1-of-8 FG and four turnovers. H/T @ESPNStatsInfo – 9:05 PM

Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina Lakers coach Frank Vogel said LeBron James will play tonight vs Pelicans. Lakers had listed LeBron earlier as questionable – 8:24 PM
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA Frank Vogel confirms LeBron James will play tonight despite QUESTIONABLE designation. – 8:23 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer Frank Vogel says LeBron James will play vs. #Pelicans. He was listed as questionable on injury report – 8:23 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU It will be interesting to see how second half rotation shakes out.
Brandon Boston Jr. wasn’t able to do much with his early clock, Amir Coffey never got going after coming in late, going small didn’t help, and Kennard went scoreless. Covington was only reserve in the black +/- – 8:19 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater Warriors rip off a 27-12 start on the Mavericks. Gary Payton II (despite limping on that shin) active on defense, bothering Doncic. Wiggins hitting shots after quiet return from break. Ball zinging around. Four Curry assists. Has 18 his last four quarters. – 8:02 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Sometimes as a journalist you run off the entire play you’re asking about, thus giving the player no room to answer the question.
My bad.
Devin Booker made something out of my question on the play Jae Crowder turned the ball over. Later said he could’ve called timeout. #Suns pic.twitter.com/dYHThpheoz – 7:15 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz Danuel House, on what he was trying to do vs. Devin Booker: “Just give him different looks, not make it easy. He’s a talented scorer. Me and Royce made it harder for him.” – 6:46 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet “It’s not just on coach, it’s not just on Jae, it’s on all of us.”

Monty Williams after he challenged a foul on Devin Booker late.
Challenge was successful, but the refs found a foul on Cam Johnson.

Eric Walden @tribjazz Quin Snyder, on finishing the game with House: “With some of the depth that we have, we have opportunities to play guys in certain situations. … Danuel was doing an excellent job.

Andy Larsen @andyblarsen Conley does make his assigned 1 FT, and Jazz will win this one.
Two consecutive big wins for the Jazz against their likely first and second round opponents.
House wasn’t considered a “stopper” pre-Utah, but his defensive effort and ability has changed the Jazz dynamic some. – 6:04 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Oh man. What an awful way to lose. Suns got a stop and a rebound, but Crowder throws it over Devin Booker’s head and it’ll be Jazz ball with 2.1 seconds left. Rare lapse in judgement from the vet there – 6:00 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Phoenix is still capable of playing at an extremely high level without Paul. One of the reasons is because Booker can play the one at a high level and then you have Johnson/Bridges/Crowder on the floor together. Not many wing trios better – 5:41 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker back in at the 8:39 mark. Book is heading for a 40-minute night – 5:35 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Devin Booker gets the rip-through in the bonus. An ode to the Point God, Chris Paul. – 5:23 PM
David Locke @DLocke09 House making Booker, who plays all 12 of the quarter, work on every possession has lead to back to back fatigue plays by Booker. A pull up three and not getting back in transition. – 5:23 PM
David Locke @DLocke09 Having a 2nd defender when Royce O’Neale is out of the game is an important addition for the Utah Jazz. Danuel House is doing a great job making Devin Booker work for every foot on the court. – 5:21 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Clarkson 3 was off Booker not finding a man in semi-transition. Almost never makes those mistakes anymore. Those will come more with fatigue, though. – 5:20 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba If the Jazz and Suns get into a series, Danuel House needs to play as many possessions on Booker as possible. – 5:19 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba The Jazz trail the Suns 60-56 at halftime. Mitchell hasn’t been the same since tweaking his lower leg in the first quarter. The burst hasn’t been there. Conley has 10. Ayton has 17 for Phoenix. He’s been great in the second quarter – 4:41 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Halftime: PHX 60, UTA 56
Ayton: 17 Pts, 3 Reb, 8-10 FG
Booker: 12-5-3, 5-11 FG
Cam Johnson: 13 Pts, 4-6 FG
Mitchell: 11 Pts, 3-10 FG – 4:40 PM
Ayton: 17 Pts, 3 Reb, 8-10 FG
Booker: 12-5-3, 5-11 FG
Cam Johnson: 13 Pts, 4-6 FG
Mitchell: 11 Pts, 3-10 FG – 4:40 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Holiday back in for the last 2ish minutes of the half. That’s a good tweak to take a little more off Booker’s plate. – 4:38 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops Coming out of the half I’d watch if the Jazz make a stronger effort to attack Devin Booker in isolation.
They keep running off screens and getting matched up with Cam Johnson and Mikal Bridges who swallow up Conley and Mitchell’s size.
They can both beat Book off the dribble. – 4:35 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker lost ball as Clarkson with the steal.
Then he fouls Bogdanovic in transition. Basket good.
Misses FT. #Suns up five as Ayton scores on other end. Has 11. – 4:29 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Snyder likes to mix and match his starters into the reserves. Gobert is now taking a quick breather, along with Conley. Good opening here for the Suns – 4:26 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Current #Suns lineup:
Holiday, Shamet, Johnson, Craig and Ayton. Booker getting rest.

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin JaVale McGee with some ball handling before finding a way to finish over Gobert off glass. Tie game. #Suns #Jazz – 4:14 PM
Ryan Miller @millerjryan A few days ago, Quin Snyder said a 20-point lead in the NBA is nothing…
Suns led by 14 with 6:18 left in the first. The game is now tied 32-32.
Booker vs. Mitchell, Whiteside vs. McGee dunk off, both teams shooting well — we’ve got a fun one in Phoenix. – 4:11 PM

Eric Walden @tribjazz End 1Q: Jazz 32, Suns 32. Utah closes on a 22-8 run to tie things up. Nice 3 from Gay, beautiful lob by JC to Rudy for a reverse alley-oop. 11p by Don, 10p from Booker. – 4:10 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba End of a funnnn first quarter. The Suns and Jazz are tied at 32-32…..Danuel House jr. came in and flipped the game defensively. Cooled Booker down a bit. – 4:10 PM

Jazz close 1Q on 8-2 run – 4:10 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen Jazz are staying attached thanks essentially to Donovan Mitchell’s 3-point shooting. Booker has yet to be bothered on offense, though. – 4:03 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker 5-of-6. 10 points, 3 rebounds, two assists. #Suns up 32-26. 2:03 left in 1st. – 4:03 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Booker and Mitchell are bananas, man….the respective fan bases need to stop arguing over them. They are both fantastic basketball players – 4:03 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson Friday night was one of those games where Booker’s elite shotmaking wasn’t quite where it normally is but boy is it in the building today – 4:02 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Devin Booker is putting on a shot-making clinic to start this one. 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting early – 4:02 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker with eight on 4-of-5 FGs. Hasn’t taken a 3. #Suns up 30-26 as Whiteside scores again. . – 4:02 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Whiteside steal, one-handed transition slam over McGee.
McGee offensive rebound, two-handed cram over Whiteside.
Backup bigs going at it. #Suns up 28-22. – 4:01 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet Hassan Whiteside got JaVale McGee off the dribble with the poster, so McGee gets him back with the put-back slam on the other end and talks to Utah’s bench about it. They were both laughing about it running back down the court – 4:01 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin If Jazz don’t blitz Booker, he’ll get to a spot to shoot a jumper.
Mitchell answered Booker’s tough two with three, fouled by Booker.
Hits FT. #Suns up 26-20. – 3:59 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Booker midrange. More under control, but #Jazz aren’t blitzing him like New Orleans did. #Suns up 24-13 as Mitchell hits 3. – 3:56 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin Cam Johnson guarding Conley. #Suns up 22-10 as Johnson finds Ayton with slip pass off dribble penetration.
Johnson playing like he wants that rookie extension before the start of next season. – 3:55 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Big lineup for Phoenix today. Devin Booker at the point, Cam Johnson and Bridges and Crowder all on the wings with Ayton in the middle
Means Mike Conley is going to have to guard way up. I would probably put him on Crowder. – 3:26 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz Evan Fournier has made five 3s tonight, which gives him 178 made 3s on the season, tying him with Allan Houston in 2002-03 for the fifth-most in a single season in Knicks history.
Franchise record is John Starks (217) in 1994-95. Pretty realistic chance Fournier breaks that. – 2:45 PM
