Russell scores 28 points in return, Lakers beat Raptors (KPRC Click2Houston)

D'Angelo Russell had 28 points and nine assists in his dynamic return from a six-game injury absence, and Dennis Schröder added 23 points and seven assists ...

Russell racked up 12 points and seven assists in the first half while the Lakers erased an early 15-point deficit in a game with several wild momentum swings. Scottie Barnes scored 20 of his career-high 32 points in the second half, and O.G. Russell and Schröder led an outstanding effort while the Lakers surged away to their sixth win in eight games since the All-Star break. The Lakers moved into ninth place in the Western Conference three days ago with a win over Memphis, and they are excelling despite the lengthy absence of LeBron James. He returned to the starting lineup with a spring in his step, hitting five 3-pointers while both making and celebrating a series of high-difficulty plays that had the Lakers' home crowd roaring repeatedly. “I know this from being here (before): The fans are ready to explode at a certain point in the game,” Russell said.

D'Angelo Russell proves he's a true star in Lakers' win over Raptors (Lake Show Life)

The Los Angeles Lakers was looking for their third straight win on their homestand against the Toronto Raptors. The Lake Show welcomed back starting guard.

He was the best player on the floor for the Raptors and it was not even close for three quarters. The NBA is on notice. He’s not a starting point guard for a team trying to get into the postseason. When the Lakers got him from OKC, he was a 6th man playing behind Chris Paul. This guy was in a zone and the Lakers had no answer for this one. In the third quarter, the Raptors had a 9-0 run to lose their halftime lead before Darvin Ham stopped the bleeding with a timeout. In the first quarter, the Lakers fell down 25-10 before both teams broke a sweat. The Los Angeles Lakers have finally gotten themselves a point guard not named LeBron James to run an offensive set smoothly. The Lake Show hit four shots in the third quarter. Maybe because he has overhauled this roster with players that just want to star in their roles and are not afraid to shoot the ball in the process. After AD blocks the shot an runs the floor, notice how quickly D’Angelo Russell reads the mismatch down low and gets the ball to him immediately. But Darvin Ham’s out coaching of Nick Nurse in a very underrated move concerning Anthony Davis sealed the deal and opened the offensive floodgates.

Lakers buzzing on chemistry, eager for chance to reach .500 against ... (OCRegister)

Right … right? Anthony Davis was not having his best night Friday against the Toronto Raptors, managing just five shot attempts against their scheme designed to ...

“While he’s out there on the court, even though he might have it going, he’s still out there trying to make the right play.” Russell’s tempo and shooting have been a “hand-in-glove fit” for the Lakers, Ham said, but Russell’s encouragement of his teammates has been just as uplifting – even when he was out with injury. These are the best fans in the world, and when they know their team has a legitimate chance to be special, you feel that energy and it’s easy to feed off of.” It’s not a thing of, ‘Well why do I have to come off the bench the way I’ve been playing?’ It’s none of that. But beating Toronto, a fast-paced team with imposing, freakish athletes especially at forward signaled that the Lakers (33-34) now have other ways to win – which can be partially attributed to the burgeoning team chemistry of the new-look roster. Davis said he was fine with letting the lineup continue to play.

NBA Rumors: Lakers' LeBron James and Anthony Davis accused of ... (Lake Show Life)

The Los Angeles Lakers have one of the best duos in the sport and despite the success on the court, their relationship off the court is in question.

LeBron and AD don’t have to be best friends off the court. After all, LeBron hasn’t had the best track record as a teammate off the court. The relationship between the two superstars was first questioned on the night that LeBron James broke the scoring title. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are a nightmare matchup and now the superstar duo has a supporting cast that is up for the task. After all, Davis signed over to Klutch Sports before even joining the Lakers and even played a prominent role in ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’. “I’d been tipped by somebody around the Lakers that said LeBron and AD, after that reaction to LeBron breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record, they’re not boys.

For Anthony Davis' 30th birthday: his five best games as a Laker (LeBron Wire)

Happy birthday to Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis, who turned 30 years of age on Saturday. He is having arguably his best season statistically, ...

Denver featured superstar center Nikola Jokic, who was about to win back-to-back league MVPs, and in Game 2, it gave the Lakers all they could handle. came out on top, 133-129, in a marvelous back-and-forth affair. In fact, some still think they gave up too much to get him. The win propelled the Lakers to a 21-3 record, and people around the league were starting to realize that perhaps they, and not the Los Angeles Clippers, were becoming the favorites to win the NBA championship. The Lakers won, 120-91, as they were starting to establish themselves as the best basketball team in the world. Davis seems to be at the peak of his powers, and although he had just eight points in L.A.’s win over the Toronto Raptors on Friday, he had at least 30 points in four of his previous five games, including a 30-point, 22-rebound effort on Tuesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

and a "Jane Doe" who is said to have been a hotel employee at least as of the alleged incident. "The 49ers would have to negotiate the trade simultaneously to the contract and only finalize the contract terms after they've agreed to trade terms with Baltimore." Second, the Ravens would have to be interested in Lance as a potential QB1 and value him as an equivalent to a first-round pick. I think he's caught the brunt of that unfairly in a lot of ways." And the one fact that I think is very important here: Marriott is a longtime sponsor of the NFL." Carr went on to mention that McDaniels is looking for a quarterback to whom he can “tell where to throw the ball.” In other words, McDaniels wants a signal-caller that’ll do exactly what he says. Per ESPN's updated Bracketology, Vanderbilt is on the bubble as a team in the "First Four Out" category. But Calipari was a thorn in Stackhouse's side long before their battles on the sidelines in the SEC. The class-action lawsuit in which O’Neal is a defendant, it should be noted, is different from the federal lawsuit against FTX. Horsted was set to be a free agent as well, but Las Vegas was just able to beat the buzzer. Unless the Memphis Grizzlies don't plan on having him back for the playoffs, he essentially needs to be on the court for them in the coming days. And this season, the birthday boy's availability game-to-game has been tenuous basically all year, first due to a sore lower back and now due to a right foot stress injury from which he has ostensibly much recovered.
