Connecticut Sun guard Marina Mabrey was in stitches after NBA star Luka Doncic lost it over Donte DiVincenzo’s trash-talking at the referee in Saturday’s Lakers-Timberwolves NBA playoffs game. A video clip of the moment was shared on X and showed DiVincenzo pointing at the ref while repeatedly telling him, “you a b—h.” Doncic was seen visibly appalled by DiVincenzo’s utterances as he stood in front of the Lakers’ bench. Upon seeing Doncic’s reaction in the game, Mabrey tweeted while quoting the original post. Following that incident in the fourth quarter of the matchup, the LA Lakers eventually lost 116-104 to…
The Los Angeles Lakers were unable to pull off a huge win on Sunday afternoon in their Game 4 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Luka Doncic and company now face a 3-1 series deficit and will face elimination in Game 5 back in Los Angeles. It was a disappointing day all around. At times, Los Angeles looked like the better team, but down the stretch the Timberwolves made all the winning plays. Doncic put together a strong offensive performance in the loss. He scored 38 points on 13-for-28 shooting. That wasn’t enough to overcome a three-point loss by a final…
The Los Angeles Lakers blew a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of their first-round NBA playoff series and ended up losing 116-113. Now, LeBron James and company are behind 3-1 in the series, with many fans ready to wave the white flag. The Lakers surprisingly relied on just five players for the final two quarters, making them the first team since 1997-98 to use the same five players in a half of a playoff game. While the decision proved effective in the third quarter — the Lakers went on a 14-0 run to turn things…
The Lakers have an urgent need for a true center. Trading Anthony Davis for Dončić was bold but left a gaping hole in the frontcourt. Their attempt to replace Davis with Mark Williams failed due to a failed physical. Jaxson Hayes has done his best, but his playoff struggles highlight the need for a better long-term solution. Enter Maluach. He is an ideal rim-runner who finishes lobs and defends the paint. The Lakers drafting Khaman Maluach would give them a perfect defensive anchor while enhancing Luka’s offensive dominance. Rob Pelinka must consider trading assets like Dalton Knecht or a future…
The Los Angeles Lakers are staring at elimination, trailing the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-1 in their playoff series. History offers little comfort. Only 13 teams have ever rallied from such a deficit to win a series. The last to achieve it were the Denver Nuggets, who pulled it off twice in 2020. If anyone understands 3-1 comebacks, it’s LeBron James. Still, the odds remain firmly against the Lakers. Their season is, for all intents and purposes, finished. Luka Dončić, traded to Los Angeles with a clear mission to win, now faces his first first-round exit since 2021. The Lakers have secured…
LeBron James and the LA Lakers find themselves in a 3-1 hole after losing Game 4 116-113 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday at Target Center. While it’s not unheard of for teams to come back from a 3-1 deficit, it is a feat incredibly hard to accomplish. The last NBA team to accomplish the feat was the Denver Nuggets in the 2020 Western Conference semifinals when they came back from a 3-1 deficit against the LA Clippers. James was a part of arguably the most historic comeback in 2016 when he and the Cleveland Cavaliers overturned a 3-1 deficit…
Gianluca Di Marzio, journalist for ‘Sky Sport’, provided the latest updates on Luka Jovic and Emerson Royal, Milan players affected by injuries, more or less recent, through the website ‘Pazzi di Fanta’. This morning, Jovic, who missed the Venezia – Milan match yesterday despite initially being listed in the starting lineup due to discomfort during warm-up, was evaluated by the club’s medical staff. Acute lower back pain was diagnosed for the Serbian striker, born in 1997, who had recently scored a brilliant brace in the Coppa Italia derby against Inter earlier this week. For Jovic, who has already started the…
Ahead of the early game between AC Milan and Venezia, Alex Jimenez spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on the good run of form lately, expressing his qualities on the right. Jimenez has played the last three games from start and last time out, against Inter in the derby, he bagged a lovely assist. In addition to that, he played really well and earned a high score in our player ratings, with the new formation suiting him well. Speaking to DAZN ahead of the game, as transcribed by MilanNews, Jimenez shared his thoughts on today’s game and his…
Despite being down 3-1 in their series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, LeBron James and Luka Doncic are ready for a fight. The Los Angeles Lakers let Game 4 slip from their hands, as they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers now find themselves down 3-1 in the series. Austin Reaves has looked like a shell of himself during this series. Even the coaches are catching criticism, with Magic Johnson blasting JJ Redick after Game 4. Redick was visibly shaken by the Timberwolves, as was seen by his handling of Jaxson Hayes. It looks like the playoffs are getting to…
The Minnesota Timberwolves have taken a 3-1 lead in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 116-113 win at the Target Center on Sunday. The Timberwolves were down by 10 points entering the fourth quarter, but Anthony Edwards stated in his press conference that he felt the game was there for the taking. “I feel like we took their best punches throughout the game, to start the third and then to end the third,” Edwards said. “I felt like they was gassed going down the stretch, so just trying to keep my foot on the pedal and…
