Warriors get a comfortable win over the Lakers (without LeBron). Steph Curry had 32 points in 31 minutes. Record up to 28-26. They’re a half-game behind the Lakers for #9. Two matchups in LA later this season. GSW gained game on LAL and Suns today. Mavericks, Pelicans, Kings won. – 12:30 AM

Herb Jones has no off switch.
Absolutely none.
Ripped the ball away from Tate, drilled a three and then came up with his 6TH STEAL of the night against Whitmore. 31 glorious seconds.

With the victory, the Mavericks for the moment move into a tie with Phoenix for 6th in the West, but Dallas owns and has clinched the season-series tiebreaker.
New Orleans leads Houston by 25 in the 4th quarter, so it appears the Pels will be in 5th, 1 game up on Dallas/Phoenix. – 10:00 PM

Last possession sums up HOU offensively tonight and honestly, for a while now — Amen wants to drive, Whitmore wants to cut from the opposite wing and Sengun is already in the paint. Spacing, communication, flow is off. In a real funk.

Tonight determines the tiebreaker for the Suns with Dallas. Among the teams around the play-in line, they’ve lost it to the Lakers (1-3) while they’ve got it over the Warriors (3-1). Still to be determined are tiebreakers with the Kings (2-2) and Pelicans (1-0). – 7:24 PM

If you like steals and blocks, you will like the Thunder defense
No team blocks more shots. (Chet Holmgren: 2.6 per game, ranked 4th)
Only the 76ers and Pelicans get more steals. (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 2.2 per game, ranked 1st)

Are top 10 teams in the West set? Not sure Houston or Utah can make up 4 games in the loss column against the Lakers/Warriors with 27 games left, but I suppose anything’s possible. Mavs seven games up on Rockets/Jazz in the loss column. So getting up to six is the key for them. – 6:59 PM

Ime Udoka on the Tari Eason situation and whether he will be shut down for the season:
“It’s strictly based off of the results of the latest imaging that he’s gotten and the pain tolerance. He played through some pain earlier (in the season). He played well, but as he continued… – 6:42 PM

Bradley Beal (left knee tightness) OUT tonight at #Mavs as Frank Vogel said he tested the hamstring and felt it enough to indicate he “not quite ready” to go.
Said it’s unlikely Beal will play Friday at #Rockets in second of road back-to-back. #Suns pic.twitter.com/D5A3SLyHyL – 6:08 PM

The Rockets were 15.5 games out of the last play-in spot when they returned from the All-Star break last season. They return from the break tonight just 3.5 games out. The odds are slim, but the Rockets believe they can still make a run audacy.com/sportsradio610… – 3:53 PM
