A rough night turned worse for LeBron James on Thursday after the Lakers superstar received a rare technical foul following a frustrating sequence late in Game 2 against the Warriors.
With L.A. trailing Golden State big with under a minute left in the third quarter, James fired up a three-pointer with Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins closing out for the contest. After the shot clanked off the rim, James turned toward referee Pat Fraher to voice his frustration with an apparent no-call after it appeared Wiggins made contact with him on the shot.

LeBron James had basketball fans scratching their heads in the closing seconds of Game 2 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Warriors.
The battle for the 49ers starting quarterback in 2023 is taking place this offseason between Trey Lance, Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold.
While Purdy is thought to be the favorite after his successful end of the season run as a rookie, former starter Lance and former Panthers starter Darnold are showing off their talents during offseason workouts so far. And, apparently, Darnold is impressing some people in attendance.
NBC Sports San Francisco reporter Matt Maiocco spoke very highly of Darnold while speaking on KNBR’s Murph & Mac podcast this week.
LeBron James is trying to power Los Angeles to a monumental win in San Francisco, but Klay Thompson and Co. have different plans. Stay updated on all the action throughout.
Just 24 hours after setting NBA Twitter ablaze with his latest hot take, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith was, once again, front and center defending his much-talked-about stance on LeBron James and Stephen Curry’s place on the NBA’s Mount Rushmore.
Appearing on NBA Countdown ahead of Lakers-Warriors Game 2, Smith took a moment to double down on the controversial comments he made regarding what a fifth NBA championship would do for Curry or James’s respective legacies.
The Worldwide Leader in Sports was back to their exceptional commentary on Thursday.
Previewing the Lakers and Warriors’ Game 2, ESPN-NBA analyst Jalen Rose went into a hysteria talking about COVID. Warriors big man Kevon Looney was reportedly dealing with an illness before the game. The broadcast noted that Looney was expected to be on minutes restrictions.
Rather than champion a potential flu-game performance from Looney, Rose started venting his concerns over spreading COVID.
In 2023, ESPN’s analysts are still worried about COVID.
Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal Yahoo’s Fantasy Football Team Power Rankings now that all 32 team’s rosters are mostly set after free agency and the draft.
Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley’s tenures with the Lakers may have ended in less-than-harmonious manners. But they’ll be pulling for the purple and gold for the rest of these NBA playoffs.
Why would they do that? For one simple reason: They want their rings.
Beverley confirmed as much on is podcast, Pat Bev Podcast With Rone, when he recounted running into Westbrook at the gym this week. He said both he and Westbrook expect to be included when the time comes to order championship rings if the Lakers are able to continue their postseason run and win another NBA title.
During the pre-draft process, teams put players through all sorts of different tests. Of course, the physical tests — like the ones at the scouting combine — are well-known prior to the NFL Draft. But it’s during the interviews that teams get to know the players. And Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith has an odd way of accomplishing that.
The Falcons ultimately drafted Texas running back Bijan Robinson with the 8th overall pick in the NFL Draft. But as a team with many holes on its roster, the Falcons likely considered many different positional needs.
After five successful seasons, the Milwaukee Bucks are making a questionable move by moving off head coach Mike Budenholzer.
Coming off a disappointing first round against the Miami Heat, the Bucks organization looked for a problem to solve — not just finish regular seasons as a top seed in the East but advance further than the first round with a loaded cast.
The Milwaukee brain trust landed on Budenholzer as the issue. Milwaukee “dismissed” the coach on Thursday, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
