NBA Playoffs: LeBron James Delivers Near Triple-Double, Scoot Henderson Breaks Out With 31-Point Statement
Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the performances of LeBron James and Scoot Henderson last night and who has been the best star of the NBA Playoffs thus far.
Last night’s NBA playoff action had a little bit of everything, but the Los Angeles Lakers were the main storyline, beating the Houston Rockets 101-94 to take a 2-0 series lead. LeBron James finished with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, but it felt more like controlled production than a dominant takeover. For Portland, Scoot Henderson had a breakout performance scoring 31 points to lift the Portland Trail Blazers to a comeback win, showing real star potential. Has Scoot Henderson arrived? How impressive is LeBron James? So far, has Scoot Henderson been the star of this year’s NBA Playoffs or has it been someone else?
The Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic face off tonight in Game 2 of their first-round NBA Playoff series in Detroit at 7:00 PM ET. The Pistons, who entered the series as the higher seed, are looking to bounce back after dropping Game 1 at home, while the Magic aim to build on their early momentum and potentially take a 2-0 lead. Tonight’s game is a key turning point in the series, as the Pistons are under pressure to even things up at home, while the Magic are trying to pull off another road win and seize control of the matchup early. Who will win?
