"A source familiar with the injury told ESPN it was caused by a collision with Clippers guard Bogdan Bogdanovic" via Dave McMenamin Here is this moment from 1st quarter when Luka got hit in his calf and was hobbling for the rest of the half after that.

Jaylen Brown got called for 6 offensive push off fouls in the first round by my count. It will be interesting to see if the call it the same in SGA vs Smart matchups....

Cant believe they convinced Luka to cut backdoor vs top lock on these away actions 😂 After KCP grabs him on the first possession...Luka cuts on next one, and Vando with a great dime 👇

Wrote this about Adou Thiero...and how refreshing it was to see the Lakers have a player Lu Dort bounces off, rather than the other way around👇

Luka and Austin are counting dunks...but I'm counting Luka charges. He added 2 more tonight vs his old team the Mavs. Dončić is now 2nd in the NBA in charges at 6, only one behind Podziemski with 7.

Why hamstring injuries are tricky. Jalen Williams the latest player, re-aggravating his hamstring last night. J Dub injured his hamstring on Jan 17, then returned 3 weeks later vs Lakers on Feb 9. Then re-aggravated it in his second game back vs Suns.

Dereck Lively II is 13/18 72% from the floor in 4 preseason games...despite almost no pick-and-rolls ran for him. Finding ways to score on cuts, putbacks, rim runs and shown glimpses of developing hook shot. Made a couple again last night vs the Lakers.

I know this clip will get most exposure, its how internet works and Luka deserved some of this with his rep. But this was the game shot making failed him and the Lakers not D. Imo he was the best Laker last night in terms of staying in front of Brown and Pritchard. Brown shot 2/9 vs shots defended by Luka, 8/19 vs rest. Boston shot 9 of 17, 37% vs Luka as closest defender. He had one other terrible break down on that Gonzales cut...but the effort on D overall imo was good.

Most lob dunks this season: 1. Lakers 104 2. Spurs 82 3. Blazers. 75 Lakers had 8 last night against the Wizards, most of any team in one game this season. Lob city is in LA 2.0👇

In my column today I wrote about Luka-Luke guard-guard actions and why Kennard's slower release and hesitancy to shoot limits the effectiveness of these end of game/quarter sets. And why Kennard's 3pt volume is low...

Wrote in my game column earlier today that Marcus Smart has been the toughest player in the series, while LeBron has clearly been the smartest. Here are 4 LeBron baskets just of him reading the game and cutting 👇

Luka & JJ Redick apparently had dinner last night. I need my pal Jason Gallagher convince JJ to get out of podcasting retirement for a day talking about inverted pick-and-rolls he ran with Luka...but this time with LeBron instead of JJ, and JJ drawing X&Os for #LakeShow

The Lakers also matched season high with 15 dunks against the Pacers. LeBron and Bronny James, both on a highlight reel is special.

Mavs-Celitcs Game 4 observations👇 Haven't done one of these in a while bc of the travelling and all things going on here in Dallas, but finally have a quiet day in the hotel and Mavs played great so why the hell not. Urgency, force and flying around on D was awesome to watch.

I wrote about Lakers being last among all teams in playoffs in 3pt frequency. Austin Reaves being back should help with that. He didnt have great shooting game but showed the 3pt pull-up and downhill game in the first half.

Deandre Ayton was 7/7 from the floor last night. Another highly efficient finishing in a career year (70.6% FG%). There were doubts if Ayton can be the rim rolling big Luka Dončić and Lakers need. Last night Ayton tied his career high 5 lob finishes he set in his rookie year👇

I think Dorian didn't count these 2 gortat-screen assists among his 5 to Luka. But they were the two that showed their connection built over the years in Dallas and now in LA, best.
