Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDhewTuCfySdl_O2JtdXUQg/join LeBron James scored 26 points, Malik Monk added 22 and the Los Angeles Lakers hung on to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-103 on Sunday night for the first time in three meetings this season. A couple of streaks came to an end in the Lakers' first game of the new year: James' run of seven straight games with at least 30 points and Russell Westbrook's stretch of four straight triple-doubles. Westbrook finished with 20 points, three rebounds, five assists and nine of the Lakers' 28 turnovers. ''We did a good job of holding our own, gutting it out,'' said Westbrook, who had just one turnover in the second half. Naz Reid led the Wolves with season highs of 23 points, making 10 of 17 from the floor, and 11 rebounds, the first 20-plus points and 10-plus rebounds effort of his career. Jaylen Nowell added 17 points off the bench. The Lakers (19-19) climbed back to .500, with their 30-something veterans carrying them in the fourth quarter. Carmelo Anthony scored five in a row to help erase a four-point deficit. Clinging to a one-point lead in the final minutes, Anthony hit a 3-pointer, got fouled and made the free throw. He finished with 14 points. ''He's done a great job for us all year,'' Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. ''He's brought a great deal of basketball integrity to our team, making sure guys are playing the right way offensively.'' Asked his definition of basketball integrity, Anthony joked, ''Frank be using words.'' Then Anthony explained that it's about his love of the game. ''It's my commitment to the game and being better to myself and my teammates,'' he said. ''That role is going to change night in and night out. I'm still motivated.'' Avery Bradley beat the shot clock to extend the Lakers' lead to 105-100. Monk made one basket in the fourth - a 3-pointer - as the only Laker under age 30 to score in the period. The Lakers ended last year with a 33-point rout of Portland only to start the new year being challenged throughout by the Wolves, who dropped their third in a row and fifth of six. ''We're playing good basketball of late,'' James said. ''Even with some of the losses we've had, we're still trending in the right direction.'' The Wolves won the teams' first two meetings by 24 and 18 points, with James missing the second game. Anthony Edwards scored 18 points for the Wolves in his return from reconditioning after being in COVID-19 protocols. The teams traded leads throughout the fourth, with neither leading by more than seven. The Lakers got sloppy down the stretch. James lost the ball while double-teamed down low. But they caught a few breaks, too. The Wolves were limited to one basket by Edwards in the final minute after he missed others and turned the ball over late. ''We're not here solely just to develop talent,'' Wolves coach Chris Finch said. ''We're trying to win these games.'' Malik Beasley and Patrick Beverley hit back-to-back 3-pointers as part of an 8-0 run early in the third that gave Minnesota a six-point lead. The Lakers ran off 10 straight points, including five by Monk, to take a 76-72 lead. But the Wolves closed on an 8-2 spurt to lead 80-78 going into the fourth. The Lakers blew all of a 10-point lead in the second, allowing a 9-0 run by the Wolves that tied it 45-all. Reid scored 11 points in the quarter, including back-to-back dunks, and his three-point play left the Wolves trailing 57-54 at the break. TIP-INS Timberwolves: Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell are close to getting out of the league's health and safety protocols and could return later this week. Lakers: James played in his 1,336th NBA game, passing Gary Payton for 16th on the career list. ... Rajon Rondo is inactive and wasn't with the team. The four-time All-Star guard is expected to be shipped to Cleveland in exchange for guard Denzel Valentine once the deal is approved by the NBA.

LeBron James led Los Angeles with 37 points - a day short of his 37th birthday - and 13 rebounds and a season-high eight 3-pointers. Russell Westbrook added a triple-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. The Grizzlies improved to 22-14 with their third straight victory, while the Lakers fell to 17-19 with their sixth loss in seven games. Morant, making a strong bid for the All-Star Game, scored 25 of his points in the second half, including 14 in the third quarter. He scored 11 of the Grizzlies' final 15 points. ''What an unbelievable night by Ja,'' Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said. ''When he got going it kind of fueled everyone else. We've said it from Day 1, he's built for moments like this.'' Jenkins also was impressed with Morant's defense (two steals, two blocks) and rebounding. He had 10 rebounds. ''I was taking what the defense gave me and it turned out good for us,'' Morant said. ''That's normally how I attack every game. Tonight was just my night.'' Memphis trailed in the second half until Tyus Jones hit in a floater for a 93-92 lead with 6:50 left. Morant followed with consecutive 3-pointers for a 99-92 advantage with 4:28 to go. Bane sealed the win with two free throws with 5.1 seconds to go Ahead by six at the half, the Lakers pushed their advantage to 14 at 80-66 during a third quarter in which Los Angeles made six 3-pointers. James had three of those. The Grizzlies were able to battle back and trim the lead to five at 83-78 at the end of the quarter. Morant made in a deep 3-pointer at the buzzer. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers were slowed by four-minute scoring drought which allowed the Grizzlies to erase a 92-87 deficit with 12 straight points. With 8:12 to go, Memphis led 99-92 ''Coming out in the third quarter it got away from us,'' Lakers forward Malik Monk said. ''It was super frustrating because we've been doing that all year.'' Grizzlies starting forward Dillon Brooks sat out his third straight game because of health and safety protocols. TIP-INS Grizzlies: Morant and James became the third pair of opponents in NBA history to each amass 35 or more points, 10 or more rebounds and six or more 3-pointers in a game... . . .John Konchar entered the league's health and safety protocols Tuesday after making the first two starts of his career. Lakers: Interim head coach David Fizdale said Morant has quickly blossomed into an elite player. ''You are talking about one of the best players in this league period. Period. The guy is a true superstar.''. . . Austin Reaves and Kent Bazemore tested out of the NBA's health and safety protocols Wednesday. Reaves missed the previous six games and Bazemore the last five.

LeBron James had 36 points and nine rebounds and Russell Westbrook scored 30 points for Los Angeles, which has lost four straight for the first time this season amid COVID-19 roster chaos. The Lakers are playing without coach Frank Vogel and five players under the NBA's health and safety protocols, and they're 0-4 since Anthony Davis injured his left knee in Minnesota last week. Derrick White had 23 points and Lonnie Walker added 21 in the third victory in four games for the Spurs, who hit 18 3-pointers while completing a two-game sweep of the two NBA tenants of the downtown Los Angeles arena. The building is changing its name to Crypto.com Arena on Christmas under what's believed to be the richest naming rights agreement in sports history. The cryptocurrency platform and exchange is paying more than $700 million over 20 years to put its name on a building that has hosted countless major sports and entertainment events since it opened in 1999 - and has been home to six Lakers championship teams. San Antonio took an early double-digit lead on Thursday and comfortably won back-to-back games for the first time since Dec. 4 despite a subpar game from leading scorer Dejounte Murray, who went 3 for 16. Bates-Diop, the fourth-year NBA journeyman who's averaging 3.8 points per game this season, scored 11 points in the third quarter. He finished with five 3-pointers. Dwight Howard got out of the protocols and played 22 minutes as Los Angeles' starting center, but the Lakers still were without Avery Bradley, Kent Bazemore, Malik Monk, Austin Reaves and Trevor Ariza, who went into the protocols earlier in the day. Los Angeles (16-17) is back under .500 for the first time since Nov. 26. San Antonio hit nine 3-pointers and jumped to a 15-point lead in the first half even though James had 23 points and was visibly frustrated at times with his teammates' shortcomings. TIP-INS Spurs: They also played in the Lakers' final game at the Forum on May 23, 1999. Tim Duncan scored 33 points then as San Antonio completed a four-game sweep of Los Angeles in the second round of the postseason. Gregg Popovich was in his third year as coach. Lakers: Interim head coach David Fizdale ran the bench for the second straight game. He said Vogel texts him a list of observations at halftime while watching on television. Fizdale and assistant coach Phil Handy both got technical fouls for arguing with officials. ... Davis watched from the bench in a blue sweatsuit while missing his third game. The oft-injured star won't be reevaluated until late next month. STAPLES' REMOVER Signs, advertising boards and innumerable smaller details have been changed at the arena to erase the Staples Center name, which has illogical - but undeniable - sentimental meaning to Los Angeles sports fans who have equated the name of an office-supply retail chain with the center of the basketball universe for more than two decades. The Lakers recognized the attachment and honored the name change with a pregame video highlighting the team's greatest moments in its arena. Fans got a commemorative ticket and a gold T-shirt replicating the first shirt given away by the team at this arena during the 2000 playoffs. In a halftime ceremony, former Lakers stars Robert Horry, Metta Sandiford-Artest, Luke Walton, Byron Scott and Gary Payton stood around a Staples court logo with the franchise's six championship trophies earned in this building.

Booker played 32 minutes and went 8 of 16 from the field one game after he was on the court for 26 minutes in his return Sunday during a blowout victory over the Charlotte Hornets. ''I feel great, man, and I think every game it's going to feel better,'' Booker said. ''I'm just getting some runs up under me but we have a good team that makes it easy to mesh with and get back with. When you have the support of all 15 guys, plus the coaching staff, it gives you a lot more confidence when you're out there.'' Deandre Ayton had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Mikal Bridges scored 14 as the Suns won their fourth consecutive game and improved to 2-2 on the road since the end of their 18-game winning streak Dec. 3. LeBron James scored 34 points for the Lakers, who lost their third game in a row as coach Frank Vogel remained in health and safety protocols for the second straight. Four Lakers players also are in protocols, including starting guard Avery Bradley. ''Obviously, we are in a rough patch right now with guys in and out of protocol, guys who are injured,'' James said. ''We just have to stay together until we become whole, or as whole as possible. But I love our fight. I thought we had a good fight tonight, we just couldn't make enough plays.'' Russell Westbrook had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who were without star Anthony Davis for the second consecutive game. Davis is expected to miss at least four weeks with an MCL sprain in his left knee. James injured his left ankle with 6:05 remaining in the third quarter when he came down on the right foot of the Suns' Jae Crowder. He remained in the game but looked hobbled the rest of the way. ''Yeah, I'll be ready for next game,'' James said. Losing Booker for 2 1/2 weeks could have sent the Suns spiraling backward, but they found success and still hold the best record in the NBA as Christmas approaches. ''I think a big part of it comes down to our team culture, how guys step into situations and we remain ourselves,'' said Cameron Johnson, who also had 14 points. ''You can see our identity on the court when we have everybody. It's a group of guys that likes playing together and we play for each other.'' After a slow start and a 54-52 lead at halftime, the Suns led by as many as 13 in the third quarter on two occasions and carried an 85-73 lead into the fourth. The Lakers' Carmelo Anthony was ejected in the third period when he argued a non-call after a shot attempt and received his second technical. Phoenix's lead reached 20 points for the first time at 100-80 with 5:17 remaining on Johnson's 3-pointer. Chris Paul had 11 points and nine assists for the Suns, who face the Oklahoma City Thunder at home Thursday before their Christmas showdown in Phoenix against the Golden State Warriors. JaVale McGee had 10 points and 10 rebounds. Veteran guard Isaiah Thomas scored three points on 1-of-11 shooting in his third game since signing with the Lakers on Friday. Talen Horton-Tucker had three points on 1-of-13 shooting for Los Angeles in his first game back from health and safety protocols. ''Yesterday was my first day out of the protocol and really today was my first (full) official day,'' said Horton-Tucker, who entered averaging 11.3 points per game. ''I'm just trying to get back into the groove of things.'' In just his second game of the season, Trevor Ariza had 12 points for the Lakers. TIP-INS Suns: After the Suns opened 0 of 9 from 3-point range, Booker made their first basket from long distance with 1:42 remaining in the first quarter. Phoenix missed 19 of its first 22 attempts from behind the arc before halftime. . Bridges opened 0 of 8 from the field but still reached double digits in points with 4:38 remaining in the first half. Lakers: In addition to Horton-Tucker, C Dwight Howard also was activated from health and safety protocols. Kent Bazemore, Malik Monk and Austin Reaves remained in protocols, along with Bradley. .

''There was about one second left, and I didn't have anything to do but shoot it,'' said Reaves, who played two seasons each at Wichita State and Oklahoma, signing a two-way contract with the Lakers in August that was converted to a regular contract in September. ''Great pass, and I made a shot.'' James scored 24 points, Westbrook added 23 and Davis had his sixth double-double of the season with 20 points and 12 rebounds after missing two games with a sore left knee. But it was the undrafted player who made sure they left with a victory. ''We've got a lot of trust in whoever's on the floor, including the rook,'' James said. ''Obviously, it showed on that last possession.'' Jalen Brunson scored 25 points and Kristaps Porzingis had his eighth double-double this season with 23 points and 12 rebounds for the Mavericks, who played their third straight game without All-Star guard Luka Doncic. ''Man, it sucks,'' Porzingis said, rubbing his face. ''Oh, my god. We should have got this one.'' Brunson said he'd seen Reaves play in college. ''He has game,'' Brunson said. ''You've got to respect him, and he was able to make shots.'' A 3-pointer by Westbrook gave the Lakers a 104-101 lead with 23.5 seconds left in overtime. Maxi Kleber tied the score with 15.2 left when he banked in a shot from 25 feet. Los Angeles' final possession didn't follow Dallas' defensive plan. ''We were going to foul with 10 seconds, make them reset and gives us a chance to reset, too,'' said Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, who was a Lakers assistant during the past two seasons. ''And we just didn't get to the foul.'' James for 4 of 9 on 3-pointers, including a 35-foot swish near the midcourt logo in the third period. Three Lakers were missing after entering the NBA's COVID-19 protocol: center Dwight Howard, forward Talen Horton-Tucker and guard Malik Monk. Two of the 36-year-old Howard's three starts this season came in the last two games with Davis out. Horton-Tucker scored a career-high 19 points in Sunday's win over Orlando. LA STAFFING ISSUES Other members of the Lakers' traveling party who entered the virus protocol included assistant coach Phil Handy and TV play-by-play announcer Bill Macdonald. Assistant coach David Fizdale missed the game for what the team called personal reasons unrelated to COVID. ''It's the same thing you tell your players - next man up,'' coach Frank Vogel said of filling in for two assistants. ''Everybody's prepared to the job of the guy in front of him.'' TIP-INS Lakers: Wayne Ellington made his third start of the season and scored nine points in 38 minutes, including the 3-pointer from the left corner that sent the game into overtime. . Davis played 14 first-half minutes with four points, five rebounds, five turnovers and three fouls. Mavericks: They're 2-5 without Doncic, who will also miss Dallas' next game on Sunday at Minnesota. . The Mavericks outscored the Lakers 14-0 on second-quarter points in the paint with Brunson going 6 for 7. . Willie Cauley-Stein missed his 10th consecutive game for personal reasons. Sterling Brown missed his sixth straight game with a foot injury. Thanks be to God Thanks to my Family and friends all over the world...
