• “Why the hell do we have replays if bad decisions are made with them too?! It was obviously three points: my foot was over the line, there’s a gap between my foot and the line,” James was imagining in his 39th birthday, who has 26 points tonight. Even Anthony Davis’ 33 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists and four steals didn’t save Los Angeles, but Anthony Edwards stood out for the hosts with 31 points.
