Few games back it was LeBron James offense and Anthony Davis defense that saved the Los Angeles Lakers, this time it was the other way around.

Davis calmly stroked down four crucial free throws before James intercepted a full-court inbound pass with 2.7 seconds left to escape the Oklahoma City Thunder, 130-127.

The all-star duo put a double-double performance each with Davis leading the scoring with 33 points along with his 11 rebounds, and seven assists. Meanwhile, James anchored the offense with his game-high 14 assists with 23 points and six rebounds.

Oklahoma was leading by a precarious one-point lead in the first half, 67-66 before Los Angeles waxed hot to start the third frame firing four three-pointers and successive inside buckets to banner their biggest lead of 15.

However, the Thunder was quick to put out the fire and immediately crawled back into the game following multiple treys to cut the deficit to three, 103-106.

Both squads evened the scoring in the fourth quarter, scoring 24 points apiece but it was the visiting team who stood out at the final buzzer.

Four more Lakers players reached in double-figures as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 17 points, Danny Green chipped 14, Kyle Kuzma and Dwight Howard added 10 markers apiece.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led OKC with his 24-point outing as well as Steven Adams who had 22 points, all in a losing effort.

With the defeat the Thunder has now a 5-10 win-loss record while the Lakers continue to pile the wins with its 13-2 card, currently the best in the NBA.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
