LeBron James and the reigning champion Lakers are on the cusp of first-round elimination, and it’s not difficult to pinpoint why.
Playing with more weight on his broad shoulders without fellow star Anthony Davis, the 36-year-old hasn’t been able to produce the way he’s used to when he pushes toward the basket against the Suns.

In the waning minutes of Brooklyn’s 123–109 series-clinching win over Boston, the TNT cameras captured a terrifying image: Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving leaning against a table, laughing and smiling, three healthy NBA superstars seemingly in lockstep with one another. For conference rivals, that image is as frightening as it gets.
The Nets are headed to the second round after mopping up the Celtics. It was a predictable outcome. Any chance Boston had of hanging in this series evaporated when Kemba Walker and Robert Williams joined Jaylen Brown on the injured list after Game 3. Any hope the Celtics had of forcing a Game 6 in Boston was buried under an avalanche of Brooklyn three-pointers in the fourth quarter.

Rumors: Has Bradley Beal reached a breaking point?

Within minutes of absorbing a 29-point thrashing that cast his team into a deep chasm of postseason despair, Bradley Beal took his place on a Zoom screen and declared, with all the earnestness he could muster, that the Wizards of Washington would persist.
“I’m a huge fan of the word ‘embrace,’” Beal said Saturday, after the Wizards fell into a 3-0 hole in their first-round series against the top-seeded 76ers. “Embracing everything. Embracing the stages of life. Embracing every situation. And it's the same thing with this. Embrace where we are.”

NBA playoffs: Deandre Ayton's development, Heat losing and Kyrie

Kawhi Leonard, Clippers must win Game 2 against Mavericks

You don’t have to say it.
Kawhi Leonard already did.
“I feel like we got a good team,” Leonard said, days before the start of the most important postseason in recent Clippers history. “We got some depth on us. It’s just about between the ears now. How much are we willing to sacrifice to get a win? How much of our mind and body are we going to put into these playoffs? That’s where I’m at.”
The Clippers trail 1–0 in their first-round matchup with the Mavericks, and make no mistake: This series is no longer about talent. It’s not about L.A.’s All-NBA forwards, Leonard and Paul George. It’s not about its frontcourt of Ivica Zubac and Serge Ibaka. It’s not about (Playoff) Rajon Rondo or Patrick Beverley.

The most striking thing about the pandemonium that swept through Portland’s Moda Center on an April night in 2019 was that the man who sparked the happy mayhem did not participate in it.
Damian Lillard stood stoic, indifferent to it all. It’s there on tape, and in the iconic snapshot that followed his 37-foot, buzzer-beating, series-clinching shot to beat the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.
