#Fever rookie Raven Johnson on her bond with fellow Atlanta native Anthony Edwards: “We talk about any and everything. I was just texting him yesterday about (the) playoffs, if he’s gonna play.” (Cc: @JonKrawczynski 👀) “ … I rock his shoes better than he rocks his shoes.” 😂

Had to be Sengun called him soft or a flopper. Bron was immediately offended

@SamOlbur For a second I thought he called LeBron soft!!!

@ThompsonScribe that it was a soft call

What was LeBron telling Sengun he couldn’t say?

New story: After covering LeBron James for more than a decade, often he can predict my questions and I can predict his answers. Coming into this season I pitched him on asking 23 questions I never asked before. Here is that year-long 1-on-1 conversation: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

The agony of Donte DiVincenzo. The thrill of Ayo Dosunmu. For the Timberwolves, Game 4 was an emotional roller coaster. Because the game is the game. nytimes.com/athletic/72313…

Rusty game. Ailing knee. Double-teams. Anthony Edwards battled through it all, lifting the Timberwolves with his competitive spirit. “It definitely uplifts me. I feel like I can’t let him down." — Julius Randle nytimes.com/athletic/72156…

Playoff JE3

Steve Kerr and the potential goodbye nytimes.com/athletic/72072…

Podz gets a tough rap. But he's at 20 and 10. He played hard and was just a -3. They didn't lose because of him
