Rumor has it SGA is already waiting at the FT line
LeBron at 41 years old defied all odds again and carried his team to the next round. Regardless on how next round goes this will be one of the many accomplishments in his career.

Congrats to JJ Reddick on his first NBA Playoff series win as a head coach!
6:16 Luka telling the houston bench to call a time out had me dying 😂
They so wanted him to lose after being up 0-3😂. Instead he closes out with 28-8-7.
Give love to Rui. He's been very consistent and efficient.
As a Lakers fan, I dont care if we lose the next round; I am proud of what has happened. Most people already thought we would get swept the first round; now expect us to get swept the second round. Cant say we suck if we lose to the #1 NBA team and reigning champions. Let this soak into people's minds that this team against all odds, was able to win the first round without Luka; thats a W 💜💛💜💛
Rui Hachimura 21 Pts, 6 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Blk (5-7PT, 5-3PM) *#BlackSamurai* *#LosAngeles* *#Lakers* *#NBA* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rui is a key factor for this win helping LBJ . No need to argue !!!
Rui has a higher three-point shooting percentage than he does under the basket.😂
The better team won the series congratulations Lakers
