Cleveland got Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and DeAndre Hunter back for Friday's Game 3, and while the depth was needed, it was the team's superstar, Donovan Mitchell, who took over the contest. Mitchell produced 33 points in the Cavs' victory in which all five starters found their way into double figures.

The Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves are tied at 1-1 in their second-round NBA playoff series after Minnesota took Game 2, 117-93, on Thursday night. Game 3 is set for Saturday in San Francisco.

The Cleveland Cavaliers picked up the win in Game 3 of their series against the Indiana Pacers behind an outstanding effort from star Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell scored 43 points in the 126-104 win that set the Eastern Conference semifinal at 2-1 heading into Sunday’s Game 4.

James brushed aside the criticism of the Lakers' star duo following their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves by emphasizing that "teams win championships." "It's never just about me and Luka," James added.

One former NBA player explained why he feels it would be best for the Lakers to trade LeBron James this offseason.
