Standings have been arranged to reflect how the teams will be deter-
mined for the playoffs. Teams are ranked 1-15 by record. Division
standing no longer has any bearing on the rankings. The top eight
teams in each conference make the playoffs, and the top-seeded
team would play the eighth-seeded team, the seventh team would
play the second, etc. Head-to-head competition is the first of several
tiebreakers, followed by conference record. (Western Conference di-
visions: S-Southwest; P-Pacific; N-Northwest; Eastern Conference
divisions: A-Atlantic; C-Central; S-Southeast.)

STANDINGS

Trae Young scored 15 of his sea-
son-high 42 points in the fourth
quarter and added 11 assists to lead
the visiting Atlanta Hawks over
the Denver Nuggets 125-121 on
Tuesday night.
Young finished seven points shy
of his career high set March 1
against Chicago. He was 13 for 21
from the field and finished eight for
13 on three-pointers.
Jabari Parker added 20 points
and nine rebounds for the Hawks,
who played most of the second half
without guard Kevin Huerter after
he suffered a left shoulder injury.
Will Barton led Denver with 21
points. The Nuggets’ three-game
winning streak ended.

at Philadelphia 98, Cleveland 97:
Joel Embiid had 27 points, includ-
ing the go-ahead dunk with 13.2
seconds left, to lift the 76ers. Phila-
delphia won despite missing 30 of
38 three-point tries. Jordan Clark-
son and Kevin Love each scored 20
for the Cavaliers.

at Utah 119, Brooklyn 114:Donovan
Mitchell scored 30 points, Rudy
Gobert had 18 points and 15 re-
bounds, and the Jazz prevailed.
Kyrie Irving scored 27 for the Nets
but missed a potential go-ahead
three-pointer with 7.6 seconds left.
He finished 10 for 30 from the field.

at Miami 117, Detroit 108:Jimmy
Butler scored 11 of his 20 points in
the fourth quarter and finished
with 13 assists and no turnovers,
and the Heat beat the short-han-
ded Pistons. Detroit held out Blake
Griffin (hamstring, knee) and Der-
rick Rose (hamstring).

at Chicago 120, New York 102:
Rookie guard Coby White made a
franchise-record seven three-
pointers in the fourth quarter, and
the Bulls pulled away to win. White
— delighting a home crowd that in-
cluded Roy Williams, White’s coach
at North Carolina — finished with
27 points. The Knicks lost for the
sixth time in seven games.

at Indiana 111, Oklahoma City 85:
T.J. Warren scored 11 of his 23
points in the third quarter, and the
Pacers won comfortably. Malcolm
Brogdon added 20 points, six re-
bounds and five assists for Indi-
ana, which has won four straight
and seven of eight.

at Sacramento 107, Portland 99:
Bogdan Bogdanovic had 25 points
and 10 assists, and the Kings won in
their first game since losing lead-
ing scorer De’Aaron Fox to an ankle
injury. Damian Lillard scored 27 for
the Trail Blazers, who have lost five
of six.

PHOENIX — They were

a dynamic duo in their own

right for the Lakers, JaVale

McGee and Dwight Howard

putting forth a heavyweight

effort at the center spot and

making the team that more

potent because of their pro-

duction.

They combined to score

23 points on 11-for-14 shoot-

ing. They combined for 12 re-

bounds, four assists and two

blocked shots.

Whether being physical

or dunking or just over-

whelming the Phoenix Suns

during their time on the

court Tuesday night at Talk-

ing Stick Resort Arena, Mc-

Gee and Howard were a

force during the Lakers’

tough 123-115 victory.

“That’s what we love,”

LeBron James said about

the play of the two active big

men. “We’ve got a two-

headed monster at our cen-

ter spot. It’s a league now

where guys don’t play the big

five as much, but we do. And

our big fives are extremely

good, extremely athletic, ex-

tremely physical and ex-

tremely smart as well. So to

have that effort that they

gave tonight ...

“It started with JaVale,

and Dwight gave his great

minutes as well, so it was

perfect.”

McGee mentioned that

he “only played 2 minutes

and 57 seconds in the first

half because I got in foul

trouble.”

But in the third quarter,

McGee put his stamp on the

game, scoring all 11 of his sea-

son-high points in 7:50.

He made all five of his

shots. He also had three re-

bounds, three assists and

one blocked shot.

When it was Howard’s

turn, he had 12 points on six-

for-nine shooting, nine re-

bounds, one assist and one

block.

“When we’re out there re-

bounding and getting easy

buckets and protecting the

rim, it’s just like one com-

bined ultimate big, I feel

like,” McGee said. “It’s a

blessing, I guess.”

“JaVale has been playing

unbelievable basketball,”

Howard said. “He’s done a

great job of just being big,

blocking shots, making it

tough for guys to be in the

paint. Then on the offensive

end, seems like he can just

tiptoe and dunk the ball.

When he gets the ball around

the basket, he’s doing a great

job.”

Howard was in the mix

for the Lakers in the pivotal

fourth quarter.

He cut to the basket and

scored on a dunk, giving the

Lakers a 101-99 lead.

A few minutes later, How-

ard grabbed a missed James

shot and scored on a put-

back while being fouled.

Howard missed the free

throw, but his physical play

and rebounding gave the

Lakers a 106-102 lead against

a determined Suns team.

“I’m just trying to get bet-

ter every game,” Howard

said. “Sitting on the bench

and being able to watch the

flow of the game. When I

come in the game, I just try

to bring some energy and try

to see what our team needs

at times.”

They are out to prove

that the center spot has not

become extinct in today’s

small-ball NBA.

On nights like Tuesday,

when McGee and Howard

are dominating the position,

the two big men hope that

proves their point.

“I feel like eventually dur-

ing the season teams are go-

ing to have to adjust to us

and go big rather than the

Golden State mind-set

when they had their reign of

everybody trying to go

small,” McGee said. “I feel

like we have the ability to

make everybody have to go

big for us. I feel like we’re

there at this point.”

Lakers get a high five

from McGee, Howard

By Broderick Turner

BOX SCORES

points and 12 rebounds.

Davis was hit in the ribs dur-

ing the game but played

through it. He was unsure if

he will play Wednesday

against Golden State.

James scored 19 points

with 11 assists and seven re-

bounds. The Lakers shot

53.7% and had 39 assists,

their most in a road game

since 1988. They have their

best 10-game start since the

2010-11 season.

The Lakers won despite

allowing the Suns to shoot

better than 50% overall and

from three-point range for

most of the game, and de-

spite Devin Booker, Ricky

Rubio and Aron Baynes

each scoring at least 20

points.

It wasn’t their best defen-

sive performance, but the

Lakers improved to 8-2,

which is the best record in

the West and second best in

the NBA.

“We don’t want to lose

two in a row, and the mind-

set coming into the game

was take care of what we

need to take care of,” said

Rajon Rondo, who scored

five points with seven assists

and six rebounds in his sea-

son debut. “And tonight, we

didn’t do it the prettiest way

but we got the W.”

The Suns challenged the

Lakers early. They took a

nine-point lead in the first

quarter, but Kuzma quelled

their momentum as the pe-

riod ended. He went on a

personal 6-0 run to bring the

Lakers to within three by the

start of the second.

Kuzma scored 13 points

on five-of-seven shooting in

the first quarter.

“He attacked early in

transition,” James said. “He

was really good using his Eu-

ros to his floaters, using his

speed.”

The Lakers led at half-

time and into the fourth

quarter but they couldn’t

pull away. They simply

couldn’t stop the Suns’ hot

shooting, especially from

three-point range.

Phoenix battled back

and led by two with 3^1 ⁄ 2 min-

utes left. Then, with 3:12 left

in the game and a raucous

crowd chanting for defense,

James stepped back to hit a

three that gave the Lakers a

114 -113 lead.

Kuzma hit three-pointers

on the next two possessions.

The first followed an offen-

sive rebound by Avery Brad-

ley, and the second started

with James, who passed it to

Bradley, who found Kuzma

to give the Lakers a seven-

point lead. Phoenix (6-4)

missed all six of its shots in

the final three minutes.

Kuzma has long believed

in his ability to be the Lak-

ers’ third star. His image is

on all of the Lakers’ market-

ing materials for this season,

along with those of James

and Davis. Vogel has called

him the third-best player on

the team. He got a late start

because of a lingering stress

reaction in his left ankle and

has been working to find his

rhythm and his shot.

“You don’t want to over-

react to his ups and downs;

that’s to be expected,” Vogel

said. “I did talk to him maybe

before yesterday’s practice,

just about letting the game

come and being patient.”

They all saw Kuzma do

that Tuesday night, and

they all expect it will be the

first of many games like that.
