Seven games were played tonight (between Sunday and Monday) in the NBA.
In focus: LeBron James and the Lakers made a crazy comeback against Portland, and Kyrie Irving blew himself up in Brooklyn's victory over Golden State.
Portland
(25:21) - L.A. Lakers (25:22) 121:112
The thought of Kareem Abdul Jaber probably only does him good.
LeBron James tonight led the Lakers to a comeback from the movies against Portland, thanks to 37 points and 11 rebounds, which erased a 25 (!) margin deficit against the Trailblazers.
In the second quarter, the Lakers presented the worst quarter in the club's history, when they lost it 45:13, but woke up and with a great third quarter of their own - 20:40 - came back to victory.
Bryant Thomas helped LeBron with 31 points and 14 rebounds, Damian Lillard on the other hand was stopped at 24, and 31 by Anferni Simmons didn't help either.
Hot start.

Golden State (24:23) - Brooklyn (17:29) 120:116
After the rest they received against Cleveland, the stars of Golden State returned to the floor, but could not complete a victory against the great Brooklyn.
The hero of the evening was Kyrie Irving, who scored 38 points and added 9 assists for the Nets.
28 seconds to the end Kyrie provided an assist to Royce O'Neal who made an important three-pointer, Klay Thompson missed one of his own and the Brooklyn star secured a victory from the penalty spot.
Nick Claxton contributed 24 of his own and 15 rebounds to the Nets, Steph Curry led on the other side with 26, and the champion dropped to a negative balance.
