After two straight losses, the Pistons will have to make some major adjustments in Game 5 back at home.

Cavs superstar Donovan Mitchell tied an NBA postseason record for most points in a single half by scoring 39 points - 21 of those were in the 3rd quarter alone! He was unstoppable, finishing with 43 points in the Cavs win tonight to tie the Series.

Detroit Pistons superstar Cade Cunningham dominated the game tonight with 12 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter! He got help from Tobias Harris with 21 points to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers and take a 2-0 lead in the Series.

First career three-homer game for Andy!

I must say, the Lakers defended well tonight - they just couldn’t generate enough offense against the World Champs.

My Lakers have an uphill battle going against the reigning World Champions OKC and SGA, who in my mind was the MVP of the First Round of the Playoffs! To beat OKC, we have to find a way to not turn the ball over as much as we did against the Rockets and play great on both ends of the floor - so who’s going to step up and provide scoring to help LeBron and Austin? One thing we all know is OKC can score the basketball, so the Lakers are going to have to play some of their best basketball!

It’s great to hear that superstar Anthony Edwards is available to play tonight with the Timberwolves vs the Spurs! Two of the most exciting players in the game are matching up - Wembanyama vs. Edwards. This to me is going to shape up to be a seven game Series!

I’m so excited about the Second Round of the NBA Playoffs starting tonight with the Sixers and the Knicks! With a healthy Joel Embiid and the Sixers playing some of their best basketball, this is set to be a fun matchup against the Knicks - who we all think will represent the East in the NBA Finals!

I have to apologize to the Philadelphia 76ers for thinking the Series was over after Game 4. Tonight, the 76ers beat the Celtics and were led by the dominant inside play of Joel Embiid - he had 33 points and 8 assists! He had plenty of help from Tyrese Maxey’s 25 points, Paul George’s 16 points and Quentin Grimes’ 18 points off the bench which included four 3’s! Grimes also played solid on the defensive end which helped the 76ers beat the Celtics 113-97! My hat goes off to 76ers Coach Nick Nurse who had an awesome game plan and had his team believing that they could beat the Celtics on the road in Boston!

I'm thrilled to welcome Stacy Johns home to LA as the new President of the @LASparks! Stacy brings nearly 25 years of experience across the NFL, MLS, and NWSL to this role. She is one of the sharpest business minds in sports, and has proven she knows how to build winning organizations. We're looking forward to her bringing that vision back to LA. Huge thanks to my business partner Mark Walter, the Lakers new President of business operations Lon Rosen, and Dodgers President & CEO Stan Kasten for helping us land a true difference-maker! sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/…

The Magic go up 3-1 in the Series over the #1 seed Pistons 94-88! Desmond Bane led with 22 points but the man of the hour was Jamal Cain! Cain’s dunk over Jalen Duren was the best in the Playoffs so far and his defense on Cade Cunningham was exceptional. The Magic caused 20 turnovers for the Pistons and you just can’t win when you don’t protect the ball.

I caught this news segment this morning on Los Angeles local NBC about Jose Alvarez, a teacher at John Muir Middle School and lifelong @Dodgers fan. When his school's annual Dodgers field trip was canceled due to a teacher's strike, Jose went to the game himself, bought the limited edition Hello Kitty x Dodgers sweatshirts, and gifted them to his class! His dedication to his students and honoring his late father's love of the Dodgers was incredible to see. Teachers like Mr. Alvarez deserve to be celebrated!

The Rockets came to play today against my Lakers tonight. All five Houston starters were in double figures and they were tenacious on defense. My Lakers didn’t get it done tonight but I’m hopeful that we’ll make the necessary changes to close out the Series in LA!

The Detroit Pistons better get their swagger back on the defensive end or else they are going to lose this Series against the Orlando Magic.

Seeing San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama back in the line up today brought a smile to my face and he didn’t disappoint with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 7 blocks! De’Aaron Fox had 28 points and took over the 4th quarter in the Spurs win over the Portland Trail Blazers 114-93!

I just witnessed the best all around team performance in the NBA Playoffs so far by the Boston Celtics in their victory over the Philadelphia 76ers 128-96! Their defense was amazing and offensively they made a total of 24 3’s! The Celtics big three were fantastic - Tatum had 30 points, Brown had 20 points and Pritchard was the man that had the crowd going crazy with his dynamic 32 points off the bench! Celtics Coach Joe Mazzulla has his team playing their best basketball at the right time!

It’s been a great weekend for my sports teams! My Washington Spirit won 4-0 vs. the Kansas City Current on Friday. Yesterday, my Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 12-4 and LAFC defeated Minnesota 1-0!

Last night we watched the best performance in the NBA Playoffs so far with Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ayo Dosunmu scoring 43 points and he was 5-5 from the 3 in their victory over the Denver Nuggets 112-96. My heart goes out to superstar Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo of the Timberwolves who were both injured early in the game, but I was very impressed with the entire Minnesota team for coming together and figuring out how to secure the win without their two premier starters.

The New York Knicks dominated the Atlanta Hawks in a 114-98 victory last night. They showed me once again why they’re the only team in the East that can beat the Boston Celtics! The Knicks had five guys in double figures and were led by Karl Anthony Towns who had a triple double with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists! When Karl Anthony Towns plays like he did last night with physicality on both ends of the court the Knicks are hard to beat!
