Overview
- Mic’d up on the national broadcast, Green hit a contested three over LeBron James and shouted, “You better close out on me like I am Steph Curry,” a clip that quickly spread online.
- The Lakers won 105–99 at Crypto.com Arena, with LeBron registering 20 points and 10 assists as Los Angeles notched a third straight victory.
- Stephen Curry sat with a knee injury and Luka Dončić remained out with a hamstring strain, leaving both teams without their marquee stars.
- With about eight minutes left, Green delivered a hard foul on Jarred Vanderbilt that drew a common foul but no flagrant, and Vanderbilt shoved Green on the next possession before tempers cooled.
- A later dead‑ball scuffle saw Green push Austin Reaves to the floor as players converged and LeBron stepped in near the scrum, and Green finished with nine points, four rebounds, six assists and five fouls.
