Austin Reaves subbed himself off after this play.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Injuries piling up tonight. Reaves is out with a left heel injury after an awkward landing (18 pts before leaving). Luka appeared to tweak his ankle on a made basket. Steph Curry is out in Houston with right abdominal soreness after 6 minutes. Hoping they're all okay

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Kyle Kuzma with a dangerous closeout on Luka. He rolled his right ankle landing on Kuzma's foot after the and-one three, hit the free throw, then went to the locker room. Luka says he's fine and Redick called it a light tweak. Lakers win 123-112.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Portland has played great defense down the stretch. They've forced turnovers, kept the ball out of SGA's hands, and held OKC to 15 points in the fourth. Blazers lead 110-105 with 1 minute left.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Steph leaving early in the 1Q.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Rough shooting night for Luka: 26 points on 8-of-23 with 5 turnovers. Unless the Lakers blow this lead, his 30-point streak is likely over. Meanwhile Mamu has been crazy efficient: 23 points on 9-of-13, 5-of-7 from three, giving the Lakers the push they needed to build this lead.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Sandro Mamukelashvili has been a great addition to the Lakers. His intensity with the second unit makes up for the lack of size inside. He has 15 points at the half on 6-of-8 shooting, 3-of-5 from three, after 23 against Atlanta. Hope he keeps it going in the second half.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

14-0 run to start the 4th for Boston.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

This Sixers team is a menance. They have bounced back from being down 16 points in the 3Q to tie the game 76-76.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Celtics have blown this one wide open. A 24-6 run with 8 threes, Pritchard back-to-back, and Nurse had to call timeout. Boston's up 20+ and hitting 19-of-39 from deep. Tatum 21, Pritchard 18.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Lakers win another back-to-back, 124-114 at Atlanta. 9 games in 14 days.
Luka's 40-pt streak ends, but he had 32 pts, 8 reb, 10 ast, 5 stl. Mamukelashvili 23, Kessler 21 & 10, Sexton 18 & 6 ast.
LAL shot 53% FG, 43% 3PT, with 29 pts off turnovers.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

That's the response we needed. Mahomes took a hard shot before halftime and kept going, and the Chiefs put up 28 points in the second half. On to Atlanta.

[Kansas City Chiefs @Chiefs]

Made it happen at home 💪

That looked like a bad injury in real-time, especially they way Bailey forced his hand backwards while it was coming forward at pace and with force.

Can't handle physical defenders? Austin Reaves just dismantled the league's best scoring defence.
16 in the paint. 4/6 from three. 1 turnover. +21 in his minutes.
That's how you answer the noise.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

No Luka. 8th game in 13 days. On the road against the NBA's stingiest defence. Wire-to-wire win!!!
Lakers 121, Pistons 116.
Austin Reaves: 43 points, 14/27 FG, a perfect 11/11 at the line. LA led by as many as 26.
Doubters wanted a win over a true contender. This is it!!!

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

@dmastermind7 @GuruLakers Watched the tape on Luka's D, especially Q1-Q3: two Scoot turnovers on drives, Deni turnovers, a Cissoko double-team he baited by not overcommitting (leading to a jump ball), and a tough missed three from Dame after Luka recovered from going under a Clingan screen. Great defense!

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Luka has his second 50-point game of the season after the an avalanche of a 3Q, dropping 20 points. The Lakers improve to 8-2 and lead the West.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

Man, Luka is playing out of his mind trying to lead the Lakers to a comeback win. He already has 40 points through 3 quarters. The turning point was definitely that 3/4-court buzzer-beater to close out the first half.

[nelson ngesa @nelson_ngesa]

@drenchmansports I still think Luka is better. It took longer than I expected, but he has really improved his free throw percentage. Scoring across all three levels was the main area he was lacking in.
