It’s official: DeAndre Jordan is Lob City’s–and the NBA’s–premier in-game dunker. It’s been that way since the season began, but I didn’t fully realize it until I watched DeAndre throw down six ferocious slam dunks against a Toronto Raptors frontcourt that is vulnerable as ever.

After dropping three games in a row and four of their last five, Kobe Bryant said they needed a win - ANY win against ANY team. Well tonight they got their win, and not just...

If the playoffs were to begin now, the Lakers would miss out. Sunday night, they suffered their third straight loss to the Pacers 98-96 and fell to 10-8 on the season (1oth in the West). You can say the Lakers are a little frustrated.
