The Los Angeles Lakers improved to 9-12 on Saturday night after beating Houston 97-107, which they have yet to win on the road this season. Anthony Davis scored 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, Austin Reaves added 18 off the bench, and LeBron James added 16 points and 7 assists for the Angels, but what will be remembered from this game has nothing to do with basketball.
What will be remembered is an embarrassing confrontation between LeBron and losing coach Ime Udoka, which resulted in the latter's ejection. Udoka was nervous throughout the game and couldn't stop complaining to the referees when the climax came after a pushing match between the players. The two clashed with the referee, who technically gave them both - and the coach was ejected because it was his second technical.

Meanwhile, another thing to remember from the game is the fact that a minute into the first half, LeBron scored an amazing 360-degree layup that wowed the crowd with crypto. "The old man did 360!" they said on the local broadcast in LA, as his teammates on the bench grabbed their heads and couldn't believe their eyes. The network responded: "LeBron has no age. It is inconceivable that later this month he will turn 39."
