The Lakers — 3-1 since the All-Star break and 4-2 […]

Right now, it’s nearly impossible to imagine the Boston Celtics without Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

The Los Angeles Lakers, playing without LeBron James, were blown out by a, well, blazing Portland Trail Blazers team, 127-115, on Monday at the Moda Center.
