Final: Thunder 123, Lakers 115
The Lakers fall to 2-3. They led by 26 points in the first half before losing the game by eight — a 34-point swing. Russell Westbrook’s last-second ejection summarized the Lakers’ ugly, frustrating evening.
Up next: vs. Cleveland on Friday. – 10:37 PM

Raptors defeat Indiana, 118-100. It’s their first (reg season) win in Toronto since beating the Pacers on Feb 23, 2020… 612 days ago. They had 6 double figure scorers that night – 5 are no longer on the team (Thomas/Lowry/Ibaka/David/RHJ) & the 6th didn’t play tonight (Siakam). – 9:55 PM

Me: “The combination of Garland & Rubio closing games, is that one that you are set on or will that be fluid?”
J.B. Bickerstaff: “I think it’s pretty good (smiles)”
So, as I tried to prepare y’all for in the weeks leading up to the season, get ready for Rubio to close games – 9:37 PM

J.B. Bickerstaff on coaching part of a season with Clippers center Isaiah Hartenstein:
“He is a heck of a passer. … He has that physical presence in the middle of the floor. … I’m happy for all his success.”
Just not tonight, he said. – 9:07 PM

Bickerstaff on Isaiah Hartenstein’s time in Cleveland: “He was fun to coach. One of those guys, when you get to know him, his personality brings people in. So he’s easy to root for.” – 9:06 PM

Mark Daigneault on Tre Mann “it’s defensively right now. Physically he is a rookie player, his body will grow and develop, which limits some of the matchups we can put him on.” Says the ability to stay on the floor in his career will be on that end of the floor. – 6:33 PM

Can 2 sports teams in the same city have identical names?
The Cleveland Indians seem willing to fight that out in a federal court.
