Anthony Davis: “I think the All-Star Game is made for Anthony Edwards. Like, the way he plays. Obviously his personality. He was just saying that he’s probably going to shoot all left-handed throughout the game. He wanted to make it fun and spice it back up.” – 2:03 PM

What a disappointing season for Green Wave basketball.
A lot of returning talent but just squandered opportunity after opportunity.
Interesting position for a new AD this offseason. – 8:54 PM

The Lakers view Trae Young as a third star who can help push for a championship now, but also bridge the gap to the future for a new era alongside Anthony Davis, per @jovanbuha (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…).

Anthony Davis had to calm Christian Wood down with “It’s a team turnover” after getting Ballbonic’d at the end of the game tonight. How do some of these players keep falling for this so many years later. pic.twitter.com/j7UzJI0iP412:41 AM

Michigan AD Warde Manuel backed Juwan Howard.

Final: Lakers 138, Jazz 122
LA heads into the All-Star break 30-26. They’re 8-3 in their last 11 games and 13-7 since losing four straight at the beginning of 2024. Huge performances from AD (39 points and 15 rebounds) and Rui (career-high 36 points).
Up next: All-Star break. – 11:18 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
New career high from Rui Hachimura of 33 points, upping his usage with LeBron out, comes on a 3-pointer, his 5th, and the first assist from Anthony Davis (37 points, 15 boards) tonight. – 11:07 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Anthony Davis had 11 assists last time the Lakers were in this building, dealing with a bunch of double teams. Tonight, Utah has mostly been playing him straight up, and he has attacked accordingly, up to 35 points on 12 of 19 FG’s (10 of 13 FT’s), and doesn’t have an assist. – 10:58 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Third quarter: Lakers 108, Jazz 92
A monster close to the quarter from LA. Anthony Davis has 33 points and 14 rebounds after posting 17 points and 8 rebounds in the third. Rui Hachimura has 28 points. Austin Reaves has 18 points and 6 assists. DLo has 11 points and 11 assists. – 10:49 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
What a push from the Lakers to close the 3rd Q, capped by Austin Reaves ripping a steal and and-1 finish to follow a late Taurean Prince bucket, enough to restore a double-digit lead pushed to 108-92, their biggest margin of the night.
AD has 33 points + 14 boards. – 10:48 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Anthony Davis with 15 3Q points after that putback dunk.

Oh my word Anthony Davis has been so dominant tonight – 10:44 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Important push for the Lakers here to get their lead back to 7 after an offensive flurry from Anthony Davis (10 points in the quarter, 26 overall) plus a Dinwiddie reverse layup forced Utah into a time out. – 10:39 PM

One of Spencer Dinwiddie’s first observations about being a Laker: “Everybody makes the game so easy – especially AD on the defensive end, he covers up everything, it’s amazing.”
Anthony Davis had 6 blocks in Dinwiddie’s debut. – 2:39 PM
