With the Los Angeles Lakers’ flat-lining season experiencing a bit of a blip with Monday’s 131-120 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James says he still has something left to play for. “I’m literally having the time of my life right now,” James said after the Lakers finished their four-game road trip by winning two of their final three. “The game’s such a beautiful thing.”

3 straight games for Tatum with 30 or more points on fewer than 20 shots. He joins 43 other players to do that in NBA history in the regular season or playoffs. Only 5 players have a streak of 4 or more. LeBron has the longest such streak at 6. – 11:48 PM

DJ Augustin noted that he’s always been able to shoot, so he’s learned how to play both on and off the ball, whether he’s playing as the PG with the ball in his hands, or next to a playmaker (like LeBron or Westbrook tonight).
He finished 6 for 6 from 3 tonight, was +8. – 9:51 PM

Mobley’s 3rd PF is significant, as he’ll have to sit for the final 2:41 of the 2nd, and deal with foul trouble in the 2nd half.
With Jarrett Allen injured, Cleveland doesn’t have a 2nd rim protecting big, as neither Markkanen nor Love do that.
Opens up the lane for LAL/LeBron. – 8:04 PM

The conversation about LeBron James and where he ranks among the all-time greatest scorers is fascinating.
For someone who has never been viewed as a “scorer”, he might be the best ever.
So… who is the G.O.A.T. bucket? – 8:04 PM

It’s a 23-11 lead for the Cavs, who are pillaging the Lakers to go 9 for 16 from the field so far. Meanwhile the Lakers have set their sights on a familiar opponent in the refs: LeBron is 2 of 6 and wants to know why the contact on his attempts by the rim hasn’t been called yet. – 7:25 PM

LeBron James did the powder toss before tipoff. Then he went to Kevin Love for their old, choreographed handshake. Welcome back. – 7:10 PM

No standing ovation, but a big roar when LeBron James is announced. Lots of Lakers jerseys, mostly for James, but a few wearing Kobe Bryant. – 7:07 PM

Tonight’s Lakers-Cavaliers game is the most expensive Cavs game since LeBron left Cleveland in 2018. @TickPick reports that the average purchase price is $219, topping the Cavs previous most expensive game (Lakers in 2021). It’s 208% more expensive than the Cavs’ season average. – 2:08 PM

The scoring title race is separated by 0.03 points.
29.83 — Embiid
29.81 — LeBron
29.80 — Giannis
This is how close it is: if Giannis had just made one more basket this season, he would be first. pic.twitter.com/5E4yliFWJ9 – 10:06 AM
