[March 25, 2024]
Anthony Davis posted 36 points and 16 rebounds and LeBron
James added 26 points and 10 assists as the Los Angeles Lakers held
off the visiting Indiana Pacers 150-145 on Sunday.
Spencer Dinwiddie had 26 points and Austin Reaves added 25 points
and eight assists as the Lakers reached a season high in points
despite not having D'Angelo Russell (illness). Los Angeles, which
has won three games in a row, now faces a challenging six-game road
trip that begins Tuesday.
Though the Lakers also earned a victory over the Pacers during the
in-season tournament title game, that contest did not count in the
regular-season standings. The teams meet again Friday in
Indianapolis.
Pascal Siakam had 36 points and 12 rebounds and Myles Turner added
20 points for the Pacers, who entered with five victories in their
past seven games. Indiana is now 2-1 on a five-game road trip and
remains in Los Angeles to meet the Clippers on Monday.
Pelicans 114, Pistons 101
Zion Williamson powered his way to 36 points, seven rebounds and six
assists as New Orleans defeated host Detroit.
CJ McCollum had 23 points and seven assists, while Naji Marshall
supplied 14 points and eight rebounds. Jonas Valanciunas added 13
points for the Pelicans.
Chimezie Metu and Malachi Flynn led the Pistons with 17 points
apiece. Jaden Ivey, the lone healthy starter, had 16 points.

76ers 121, Clippers 107
Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey scored 24 points apiece as visiting
Philadelphia opened the fourth quarter on a 20-4 run and pulled away
to beat Los Angeles.
Cameron Payne had a season-high 23 points for the 76ers, who led
wire-to-wire and snapped a two-game skid. Kelly Oubre Jr. finished
with 12 points and a season-high six assists, and Paul Reed had 10
points.
Kawhi Leonard and Norman Powell led the Clippers with 20 points
apiece. Paul George scored 18 points, Ivica Zubac had 13 points and
10 rebounds, and James Harden finished with 12 points and 14
assists.
Heat 121, Cavaliers 84
Bam Adebayo posted 15 points, 16 rebounds, five steals and three
assists in just 28 minutes to lead host Miami to a runaway win over
Cleveland.
The Heat, who led by as many as 45 points, nearly set a franchise
record for the largest margin of victory. The record is 43 points in
December 1994 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Miami fell six
points short of that mark. Miami got a team-high 18 points from
reserve Haywood Highsmith. Starter Jimmy Butler had 15 points and
six assists in 24 minutes.
