here it is: one of the biggest screwjobs of the year, and of course it’s the Kings in LA.
clock inadvertently starts after missed FT, because no-one technically has possession it’s a jump ball. which the Kings promptly lose.

Coming off a 9 turnover game, Russell Westbrook has yet to turn it over tonight. He also has two assists, as he’s been more aggressive looking for his shot, going 6 of 17 from the field towards 13 points. – 12:17 AM

LeBron has 17 points. THT has 15 points. The Lakers have hung around largely because of their productive bench minutes. LA has 12 offensive rebounds and 46 points in the paint. They’re just 6 of 24 (25%) on 3s. – 12:16 AM
