Celtics wins in OT after controversial regulation ending vs. Lakers

The Boston Celtics had the last laugh against the Los Angeles Lakers after a 125-121 overtime win in the NBA’s rival week.

Jaylen Brown went take over mode in the extra period before finishing with 37 points, nine rebounds and three assists.

Jayson Tatum supported with a double-double of 30-piece, 11 boards along with four assists plus the no-call on his foul on LeBron James potential game-winning layup at the end of regulation.

With four seconds left, game tied at 105, James got the inbound pass and went straight to the basket where he was challenged by Boston’s defense and Tatum clearly hit him in the forearm.

James was furious with the no-call and was on his knees full of frustrations.

Patrick Beverly, who made an insane putback slam in the clutch, brought out a DSLR camera to show the referee the obvious foul and got T’d up for it.

With the emotions running high, Boston took advantage and sealed the win.

James delivered another 41-point performance but it was not enough to carry the Lakers to a win.

Leon Edwards settles doubt after denying Kamaru Usman again

It was not luck nor a fluke. Leon Edwards proved once again that he is better than Kamaru Usman after winning their rematch in the main event of UFC 286.

Edwards successfully defended the UFC welterweight belt he stole from Usman back in August with a majority decision victory in front of his home crowd at the O2 Arena in London, England.

He connected 120 significant strikes compared to only 87 from Usman while also limiting the latter’s takedown attempts.

“I knew it was a close fight and I knew he would come out [hard] in the last round. He was keeping good pressure on but not much was happening,” Edwards said after the fight.

Shortly after winning, UFC revealed that he will next make a title defense against Colby Covington in a to be determined date and venue

Lonzo Ball to potentially miss second straight NBA season due to third knee surgery

Lonzo Ball is on a tough road returning to the NBA after confirming another necessary surgery on his left knee.

The 25-year old Chicago guard has not played since January 14, 2022 due to his knee injury and now he will undergo a knife for the third time in the same knee.

He expressed frustration but clings on to a full recovery.

“My main focus has been on returning to the court and getting to a place where I can rejoin my teammates. This has been a frustrating process, but I’m confident these next steps are the best path forward,” he said in a statement.

This reminds many of Derrick Rose’s injury-ridden career with the Bulls. However, Ball, just like Rose, continues to persevere to overcome the setback.

“The support of my family, friends, fans and medical staff throughout my recovery is what keeps me moving forward. I can’t wait to get back to what I love doing most – playing basketball.”

NBA further suspends Ja Morant for eight games after conducting own investigation

While Ja Morant is continuously being away from the Memphis Grizzlies after his gun showing incident, the NBA has already decided on what his punishment will be.

Morant has been suspended for eight games without pay that will cost around $669,000 of his salary, this started when he stepped away from the game to reevaluate himself.

He has already served six games and will continue to be ineligible for the next two games. However, despite these suspensions, Morant’s return seemingly remains indefinite.

“Ja’s conduct was irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous. It also has serious consequences given his enormous following and influence, particularly among young fans who look up to him,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in the league’s statement.
