What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Kyle Goon @kylegoon The Lakers won an electrifying game against the Jazz that they absolutely needed to win going into All-Star break, led by dramatic plays by LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.
But Anthony Davis’ sprained ankle might be the crushing blow to the season: ocregister.com/2022/02/16/leb…2:18 AM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers Quick @LockedOnLakers reaction video after a bittersweet 106-101 win over the Jazz. On one hand, the Lakers lost Anthony Davis to a rough looking ankle injury.

Davis was “just shaking his head about, really, everything,” Vogel said.

-Lebron 33pts 8rebs 6ast
-Russ 17pts 7rebs 6ast
-Monk 13pts 5rebs
-Reaves 9pts
Give Aaron Donald an Assist, biggest fan all game…Let’s hope Anthony Davis is alright…
@ESPNLosAngeles12:47 AM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar Russell Westbrook is shooting 67% from the free throw line on the season, but if the game is on the line, Brodie is sinking both free throws. – 12:46 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha Final: Lakers 106, Jazz 101
The Lakers outscored the Jazz 35-22 in the fourth, led largely by LeBron James but also with timely contributions from the supporting cast. LA improves to 27-31 and enters the ASB on a bittersweet note due to AD’s injury.
Up next: the All-Star break. – 12:45 AM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon A truly stunning win here under the circumstances. Russell Westbrook showing up in crunchtime. LeBron with 33 points, and 15 of those in the fourth quarter. Huge late plays by Monk and Reaves.
All in the looming shadow of Anthony Davis’ injury, with huge long-term implications. – 12:45 AM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWob Westbrook drills both free throws with the game on the line. a necessary tweet. – 12:45 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten A remarkable win here for the Lakers. AD goes down but L.A. rallies from down 14 pts to a UTA team that came in on a six-game winning streak thanks to LeBron James scoring 15 of his 33 pts in the 4th Q. Lakers win 106-101. LAL enters the All-Star break at 27-31. – 12:44 AM
Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA Russell Westbrook played more like the way the Lakers need him to in tonight’s 4th quarter comeback win. Lots of cutting, playmaking, and hustling. Made some careless passes earlier in the game but shot only once from outside of the paint. These are the changes Los Angeles needs. – 12:44 AM
Bill Oram @billoram What a win for the Lakers. Down by as many as 14 points in the third quarter, lost Anthony Davis to injury, rally to beat the red-hot Utah Jazz 106-101. Lakers go into the All-Star Break on a high note. – 12:43 AM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96 Russell Westbrook like 😱 pic.twitter.com/VYeF70nAoS12:30 AM

Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne That Westbrook drive/LeBron dive is there all the time. – 12:28 AM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers If you’re looking for slivers of positivity in this perpetually crappy season, the Lakers have not folded up the tents after AD went down. Hardly a given with this group. AK – 12:21 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Aaron Donald was up on his feet flexing after a tough and-1 layup from Austin Reaves through contact from Hassan Whiteside, as LAL hang around, trailing 92-85 with 5:33 to play. – 12:17 AM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind Signing DeMarcus Cousins for the rest of the season should be a no-brainer for Denver. – 12:08 AM
Adam Mares @Adam_Mares Another really good showing from DeMarcus Cousins’ bench lineup. They did their job and HE did his job tonight.
Nuggets need the rest of the starters to join Jokic in this 4th quarter. – 12:07 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter LAL, trying to find some energy, in the shadow of the AD ankle injury that took the wind out of their sail, got consecutive drives to the rim from LeBron in the 3rd to get the building going (and him a high 5 from Aaron Donald going up the floor).
LeBron starts the 4th w/a J. – 12:04 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha Third quarter: Jazz 79, Lakers 71
The Lakers did an impressive job of hanging around in the third despite the gut-punch of losing AD for the game and likely longer. LeBron James has 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Donovan Mitchell has 33 points on 11-of-17 shooting. – 12:02 AM
Bill Oram @billoram Lakers trail 79-71 at the end of the third quarter. Donovan Mitchell already has 33 points for Utah. But the story remains Anthony Davis and his sprained ankle. – 11:59 PM
Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind Nuggets have been an awful offensive rebounding team most of this season, but that’s changed in DeMarcus Cousins’ seven games. Denver has a 33.4 OREB% when Cousins plays — that would rank 2nd in the NBA this season. Three offensive rebounds in nine minutes for Cousins tonight. – 11:56 PM
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA Via Lakers PR: Anthony Davis suffered a sprained right ankle in tonight’s game. The x-rays were negative. Davis will receive treatment over the All-Star break and will be reevaluated when the team returns. – 11:46 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina Lakers say that Anthony Davis sprained his right ankle, and that x-rays turned out negative. Lakers add that Davis will receive treatment over the All-Star break and then will be reevaluated when the team returns after All-Star weekend – 11:45 PM
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis will receive an MRI on his right ankle tomorrow, league sources tells @YahooSports. But X-rays were negative. – 11:43 PM
Matthew Tynan @Matthew_Tynan Oh good we definitely needed to see the AD injury again. At least the one more time. – 11:42 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten Official word from the Lakers: Anthony Davis has a right ankle sprain; X-rays were negative. No time table for recovery provided at this time. He will be reevaluated after the All-Star break. – 11:39 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner Lakers say Anthony Davis has a sprained right ankle, X-rays were negative. He will get treatment over All-Star break and will be re-evaluated when the team returns to play next week. – 11:39 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon The Lakers say Anthony Davis has a right ankle sprain. No sign of fracture on the X-rays. He’s going to receive treatment on the ankle over the break and be reevaluated next week. – 11:37 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs This game was gettable for Denver, but only one player showed up. That’s okay – but please sit Jokic down so he can get out of the Chase Center in one piece. After seeing that AD clip on my timeline a hundred times I do not need that to be Nikola. We already got the warning shot. – 11:37 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter X-rays were negative on Anthony Davis’ ankle. He’ll receive treatment over the All-Star break, and be re-evaluated when the team gets back. – 11:37 PM
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi Anthony Davis could not put any weight on his right ankle and had to be carried back to the locker room. pic.twitter.com/KFVvJr9qZC11:34 PM

Bill Oram @billoram Lakers say Anthony Davis will not return to tonight’s game with what they are calling, simply, a “right ankle injury” – 11:33 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz No surprise: AD ruled out for the rest of this game. – 11:31 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Lakers will stay small here, starting Trevor Ariza for Anthony Davis, essentially moving LeBron to center. – 11:30 PM
Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn Lakers star Anthony Davis is getting x-rays on his right ankle now, source tells ESPN. – 11:28 PM
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi Anthony Davis rolled his right ankle so badly that it touched the court before he went down. pic.twitter.com/FRC1eEJ74a11:25 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Just saw the replay. Gruesome. Prayers up to AD 🙏🙏🙏🙏 – 11:21 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen My hope, watching that AD replay, is that it’s just a severe ankle sprain that costs him a few weeks. I didn’t see his foot out of place or the really gruesome stuff that you see in broken ankle situations, but who knows. – 11:18 PM
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi Anthony Davis couldn’t put any weight on his right ankle and had to be carried off the court. pic.twitter.com/5ZBiQp6EC411:17 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha Halftime: Jazz 53, Lakers 46
The most pressing matter for the Lakers currently is Anthony Davis’ ankle — a potentially season-altering dynamic. AD has 17 points and 2 blocks. LeBron James has 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. LA is just 3 of 17 (17.6%) on 3s. – 11:16 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs Man, Anthony Davis is gonna be out a while with that ankle roll. His foot went perpendicular to his leg. – 11:15 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon HALFTIME: Jazz 53, Lakers 46.
Just a lot riding on Anthony Davis’ ankle. – 11:14 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarah Honestly really tough moment for the Lakers because they’ve lost like 7 of 9 but the talk pre game was about how the team was finding a renewed sense of energy and some positive stuff happening. The AD injury sucks the air out of that if it’s serious. – 11:13 PM
The Ringer @ringernba Prayers up for Anthony Davis 🙏 – 11:12 PM
Malika Andrews @malika_andrews Anthony Davis didn’t put any weight on his right ankle as he was helped off the court. – 11:12 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz Upon replay: AD jumped up for the pass, and as he was coming down, he caught Gobert’s heel and completely turned his foot over. Brutal. – 11:11 PM
Eric Pincus @EricPincus Air sucked out of the building with that injury. AD’s ankle. Bummer to see. I root for health leaguewide above all – this year hasn’t been kind – 11:10 PM
Bill Oram @billoram Anthony Davis is finally up after spending several minutes on the court after badly rolling his right ankle. Went up to catch a lob and came down on Rudy Gobert’s heel. A potentially season-altering moment for a team that has been trying to get on the right side of things. – 11:10 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina Anthony Davis not putting any weight on his right foot. AD being helped to the locker room – 11:10 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill Oh boy. That didn’t look good for Anthony Davis – 11:10 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz Wow, stretcher coming onto the court for Anthony Davis – 11:10 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin Dude, this sucks for Anthony Davis. Come on man. He can’t catch a break. – 11:10 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner AD is up but helped to locker room by DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard. – 11:10 PM
Janis Carr @janiscarr AD down, grabbing his ankle. Can’t put pressure on it – 11:10 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten Anthony Davis is down on the court after a bad right ankle turn. He came down on Rudy Gobert’s heel and is in a lot of pain. DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard helped him off the court. – 11:10 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarah AD being helped off the court by teammates, not able to put any weight on his ankle…it does not look good. – 11:10 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Anthony Davis rolled his right ankle pretty badly, landing on Rudy Gobert’s foot after jumping high in the air.
He’s been terrific tonight, moving with bounce on both ends of the floor, with 17 points on 7 of 9 FG’s.
He needed help to get off the court. – 11:09 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory Man that AD injury looked bad – 11:09 PM
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis in agony on the floor holding his right ankle – 11:09 PM
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA Feel for AD. Just no luck when it comes to avoiding injuries and staying healthy. That didn’t look good. – 11:09 PM
Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa AD looks like he just rolled his ankle really bad…Not good man, whole team out there with him… – 11:09 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner Anthony Davis goes down rolled his right ankle on heel of Utah Center Rudy Gobert. – 11:09 PM
Bob Garcia @bgarciaivsports That’s clearly an ankle sprain. AD is going to be out awhile. – 11:08 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina Man, Anthony Davis looks in pain…. – 11:08 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen Anthony Davis is down holding his ankle. Lakers fans in our section yell “Come on, bro! Get up!” – 11:08 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Anthony Davis just turned his ankle and it doesn’t look good at all – 11:08 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon Anthony Davis is down, grabbing his right lower leg and rolling. – 11:07 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers Before AD got hurt, he and Westbrook had developed a nice two-man chemistry. It had been kinda sluggish since his return, but tonight feels the most like that period. AK – 11:04 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba That’s twice that Mitchell has stood Westbrook up physically when he’s tried to throw his shoulder into him – 11:00 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon I’m sure the Lakers appreciate every minute Hassan Whiteside plays tonight. – 10:58 PM
James Ham @James_HamNBA “The good thing is I have a little bit in experience in being traded, & how this goes down, but at the same time, give myself a lot of grace and allow myself to just go out there and play hard. Shots are going to fall when they fall.”
-Justin Holiday on getting traded mid season – 10:50 PM
Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa THT 3 blocks, AD 2 blocks… – 10:50 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA Al Horford said the win streak set the Celtics up with an identity of defensive intensity and an up-tempo offense. Horford added that he hopes the team uses this loss as motivation to come back from the break with an edge. – 10:49 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz End 1Q: Jazz 27, Lakers 27. Nice recovery from Utah, which initially trailed 11-0. Lakers got some 3s from Westbrook (30.1% this season) and Anthony Davis (16.9%). Davis is cooking all-around — 15p on 6-7 FGs. Don with 15p. – 10:47 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA Al Horford says this winning streak has set an identity for the Celtics having a defensive intensity and a blueprint for a high tempo offense. Wants the Celtics to use this loss as motivation to come back with an edge out of the break. – 10:47 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner AD is 6-for-7 from the field and also has two blocks in the first quarter. – 10:46 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha First quarter: Lakers 27, Jazz 27
Anthony Davis and Donovan Mitchell each have 15 points. Russell Westbrook has 7 points and 3 assists. The Lakers cooled off after a hot start, but are playing with a similar spirit to the Golden State game. They have 14 points in the paint. – 10:46 PM
Ryan Miller @millerjryan Donovan Mitchell has 15. Anthony Davis has 15. The Jazz and Lakers all tied at 27. – 10:45 PM
Bill Oram @billoram That was just Anthony Davis’ 12th 3 of the season. Lakers and Jazz tied at 27 after a first quarter in which the Lakers led by as many as 11. – 10:45 PM
Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee “I know that stigma or whatever is out there, but being here with this team, that’s not what this organization is about. They want to win and that’s what we’re trying to do – turn this thing around and do something special.” – Justin Holiday on the “losing culture” in Sacramento – 10:45 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner Anthony Davis had 15 points to help Lakers to a 27-27 tie with Jazz end of first quarter. – 10:45 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba End of one out in Los Angeles: the Jazz and the Lakers are tied at 27-27….Anthony Davis has 15….Mitchell has 15…. – 10:44 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter All tied at 27 after 1, thanks to a last-second corner 3 from Anthony Davis. He had 15 points on 6 of 7 FG’s in the period.
LAL opened on an 11-0 run before Utah counter punched. – 10:44 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing Al Horford: “The second chance points hurt us.” – 10:43 PM
Jay Allen @PDXjay Ja Morant is 21-25 at the FT line tonight. The last #NBA player to attempt 25+ FTs in a game was Anthony Davis (27, 10/29/19). – 10:39 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050 Nick Nurse on Thad Young: “The experience shows. It really does. He’s in the right place, he makes great cuts… Overall, for him to only be here a short time and not really know what we’re doing, you can see he knows how to play the game.” – 10:39 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon personally i don’t think the Lakers should be looking to trade Anthony Davis but that’s just my opinion I guess – 10:35 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen Jazz all the way back, now down just 19-18. Bogdanovic and Mitchell 4-5 from 3.
Little bit surprised O’Neale hasn’t been able to stay in front of Westbrook more. – 10:32 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba Anthony Davis has 8 points already, is going to the line and has been impactful on both ends. Terrific start for him so far – 10:30 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon Interesting start for the Big Three, up 13-5 on the Jazz. AD and Russ have scored all the points, and LeBron hasn’t scored but has three assists. – 10:27 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz 8-0 Lakers lead, including 6p by AD. Not great defense from the Jazz so far. Timeout, Quin. – 10:20 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon Great early sequence for AD, who didn’t play the first game against the Jazz: steals an entry pass intended for Gobert, takes it up court, hits the jumper. – 10:18 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter Strong start for LAL, with a Westbrook layup, AD steal as Utah tried to free Gobert, and AD step-back J over Gobert to make it 4-0. – 10:17 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz Final: Nets 111, Knicks 106.
Knicks blow a 28-point lead, the third time in 11 days they’ve blown a 20+ point lead to fall to 25-34 at the All-Star break, 12th in the East.

John Karalis @John_Karalis Al Horford is bailing the Celtics out tonight. 8-10 from the field, 2-3 from 3 now, leads C’s with 7 rebounds, leads C’s with 7 assists. – 9:44 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA That was a big time find by Brown and a big hoop by Horford. – 9:44 PM
Matt Dery @DerySpeaks Al Horford? Jeesh. #Pistons9:44 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa Bey gets a layup to extend the Pistons’ run to 18-9, and give them the lead. Horford responds with a 3 on the other end.

Brian Robb @BrianTRobb Al Horford is 8-of-10 tonight. 19 points, and a team-high 7 rebounds and 7 assists. What a night for him. – 9:43 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe Horford with perhaps his biggest 3 of the season, a corner ball and the #Celtics are up 111-110 with 32.3 left. They should get the last possession unless #Pistons want to play 2-for-1. – 9:43 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps After it looked like Jaylen Brown gave up an offensive rebound to Jerami Grant that put Detroit ahead, he finds Al Horford with a nice pass to the corner for a wide open 3 to put Boston back in front by a point with 32.3 seconds to go. – 9:43 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz A weird part of this weird Knicks season is that two of the loudest criticisms of Thibs are that 1) he didn’t give Kemba enough of a chance and 2) he plays Kemba too much.
Like I said, weird season. – 9:14 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed Been tryna figure out who @BigWos reminds me of and it just hit me: You look like Kemba bro. – 7:59 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed Evan Fournier just hit a pull-up 3 to give the Knicks a 14-7 lead over the Nets here at MSG. The Nets are shorthanded and snapped an 11-game losing streak on Monday, but the streak could start again if they don’t pick it up soon. – 7:52 PM
