The Lakers hit only 7 of 19 FG’s in the 1st Q, and trail 30-21 after 12 minutes of play.
Anthony Davis was 4 for 6 (and 3 of 4 at the FT line), and the rest of the team just 3 for 13. – 8:36 PM

Victor Wembanyama’s looked a tad hobbled leaving his press availability after banging knees with Anthony Davis in Friday’s game. San Antonio is playing second night of a back-to-back tomorrow in Dallas. – 12:52 AM

Paul Garcia: The NBA says Chris Paul’s offensive foul on Anthony Davis in the 4Q last night was the correct call. -via Twitter @PaulGarciaNBA / November 16, 2024
James was asked if he was more surprised that he beat his personal triple-double streak at this stage of his career or that it took him this long to do it. “Probably that I did it in Season 22,” he said after notching his 117th career triple-double, the fifth most all time. “To still have the energy to do that and the effort — it takes a lot. But also, it takes great teammates along the way, too. Those assists only happen when guys are making shots, and I just try to put the ball on time, on target and then defensively, rebound and try to help on the glass with [Anthony Davis] and the rest of the guys. And sprinkle in a little points from time to time. “But waiting 22 years to do something is wild, so, that’s a good question right there.” -via ESPN / November 16, 2024
