Hints
Lakers: Coach Frank Vogel said James was “doubtful” in Wednesday’s game in Oklahoma City. Vogel said the injury is in a “different place” from the right ankle injury James suffered late last season. … Davis remained on the field clutching his right shoulder in the opening minutes of the first quarter after a fierce blocking of his attempt to submerge Boeltel. Davis’ arm rebounded and he fell to the court from the weight of the block, causing James to climb up from his seat on the seat in question.
Tottenham: Murray ranks fourth in a professional triplex in franchise history, behind David Robinson (14), Alvin Robertson (8) and Johnny Moore (6). … Walker has made five three-pointers in his previous three games, most recently against Milwaukee on March 20.
