JJ Redick on LeBron James: "His play throughout the game gave us such a lift." Not only the huge shots, but Redick praised James' screening ability.

Luka Doncic on being a parent: “It’s the best thing in the world.”

"That was vintage Bron." When the Lakers needed him, LeBron James was back to his super self to save the day in Philly. latimes.com/sports/lakers/…

Marcus Smart says he'll try to "give it a shot" tomorrow after a back injury kept him out the last two-ish week. Lakers play the Spurs in the NBA Cup quarterfinals tomorrow.

Headband Luka?

Luka Doncic takes the 3-0 win in the halfcourt shot contest against JJ Redick. JJ is, not surprisingly, annoyed.

Maxi Kleber questionable for tomorrow. He participated in half of practice today before a back injury popped up, JJ Redick said.

Lakers have downgraded Maxi Kleber to out for tonight against the Spurs.

Win and you're in Vegas.
