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.

Giannis, Luka, Embiid, Wemby overlooked as Durant hypes Tatum

As the Boston Celtics won vs Phoenix (127 – 112) last March  15, 2024, NBA superstar Kevin Durant hyped Tatum as the one who will control the league for the next 10 or 12 years.

Despite the outstanding performance of Joel Hans Embiid Philadelphia 76ers, Doncic  Luka Mavericks, Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks, Victor Wembanyama Spurs and others, Durant still saw Celtic power forward Jayson Christophe Tatum as the best.

Durant said after the Wednesday practice that Tatum is consistent all year and assumed him as the legit candidate.

“Putting up a high number of points. Stats matter when it comes to MVP. His team is winning games, most importantly, by a landslide. The record factors into it. He’s had MVP-caliber seasons the last few years, too. So, it’s just a matter of your narrative at this point.” Durant remarked.
