The Los Angeles Lakers’ winning streak reached eight games after a 134-126 win against the Miami Heat on Thursday. The Lakers also improved to 3-0 on their current road trip, and the win was capped off by a 60-point explosion from Luka Doncic. But amid Doncic’s big game, LeBron James left his mark on the Lakers’ win with a triple double, according to Melissa Rohlin of the California Post, prompting head coach JJ Redick to drop the mic with three words.

“He’s a psychopath,” Redick said after the Lakers’ win against the Heat.

LeBron James finished with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, giving him his second triple-double of the season. Also impressive was the fact that the Lakers were playing the second night of a back-to-back, a game that James was initially listed as questionable to play in.

He shot 8 of 12 from the field and 3 of 5 from the free-throw line in 38 minutes of play. James had another incredible performance in the Lakers’ win against the Houston Rockets last night, when he dropped 30 points while missing only one shot (13 of 14).

Earlier this season, when James returned to the Lakers’ lineup after missing the first 14 games of the season due to a nerve injury, he was missing both games of a back-to-back set. But that’s where he’s been for most of the season since the New Year as the Lakers continue to battle for playoff position in the Western Conference.

James was selected for his 22nd consecutive All-Star appearance, however, his streak of 21 consecutive All-NBA team finishes ended as he did not reach the league’s 65-game mandate to be eligible for postseason honors.

After the win against the Heat, the Lakers improved to 45–25, two full games ahead of the No. 4 Minnesota Timberwolves. The team will visit the Orlando Magic on Saturday before concluding their road trip with games against the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers.

On Tuesday night, the Orlando Magic had a golden opportunity to test themselves against the toughest imaginable opponent in today’s NBA – the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Paolo Banchero played his heart out, scoring 32 points on 12-21 shooting from the field, and the rest of the Magic’s starters did their part – Wendell Carter Jr. recorded a game-high plus-19 on the night.

However, Carter did not play 48 minutes. Unfortunately, the Magic had to play their bench that night, which did not perform well at all against the Thunder. Somehow, in just 13 minutes of play, Carter’s backup Mo Wagner was minus 28 in a five-point loss to the Thunder, 113-108.

To put it mildly, the Magic bench did not play well at all and a large portion of the blame for his team losing the game during his minutes should fall on his shoulders. And after the game, head coach Jamahl Mosley was not at all happy with his bench team, as evidenced by his answer when asked how tough their night was.

“You see it,” Mosley said, according to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

The advantage is that come playoff time, the bench doesn’t have to play as much. But Mosley losing confidence in some of his bench players is not promising for the team’s progress for the remainder of the season.

Magical confidence in Franz Wagner’s eventual return from injury

Young Wagner’s eventual return from an ankle injury will help the Magic. Additionally, the team is missing Anthony Black, forcing Tristan da Silva to start – further thinning the team’s bench core.

There is only less than a month until the playoffs start, so the Magic should have time to better configure their rotation after their bench hampered them in their loss to the Thunder.

Bam Adebayo is the center of attention not only in NBA circles but also in the sports world after he recorded a feat that will forever engrave his name in the record books. On Tuesday night, Adebayo scored a eye-popping 83 points in the Miami Heat’s 150-129 win over the Washington Wizards and became the owner of the second-highest scoring game in the NBA (surpassing Kobe Bryant).

Adebayo started the game in an ideal way, as he already had 31 points by the end of the first quarter. He had 45 points at halftime, and that’s when he and the Heat started dreaming of making history – which they accomplished against the hapless Wizards.

The Heat star had nothing but a smile on his face and nothing but gratitude after scoring the second-highest scoring game in NBA history. And he remained grateful to the powers that be, as he posted a three-word message thanking a higher being after his historic effort.

“God is great 🙏🏾,” Adebayo wrote on his official account on X (formerly Twitter).

Heat star Bam Adebayo becomes center of attention

Even people who don’t follow the NBA religiously know about Adebayo’s 83-point effort. What a historic scoring night he had. Imagine being referred to in the same manner as Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant for the rest of your career. The Heat Star stands here after the destruction of the Wizards.

This is no less than an achievement by which millions of people will remember your name for the rest of time. It’s unlikely that Adebayo is now immortalized in the sports world because he was the player to crack the 80-point club in the NBA, which only has three members.
