And it was good to see that from our group." "We stuck with it," Westbrook said. James scored 15 of his 33 points in the final frame, extending his career-best streak to 23 straight games scoring 25 or more points. "The good thing is, he'll be a lot better when we come back than he is tonight," James said. So I just wish him the best." Davis underwent X-rays at Crypto.com Arena that revealed no fracture, according to the team. "Just shaking his head about, you know, really everything," Vogel said.
