Here’s a recent story from the Associated Press: LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James didn’t get overly excited last week when his Los Angeles Lakers rolled to a shocking 3-0 series lead over the Houston Rockets despite playing without their top two scorers.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers take a shot at a commanding 3-0 series lead over the Houston Rockets with a Friday night Game 3 in the first round of the NBA’s Western Conference Playoffs.

The New York Knicks extended their Eastern Conference Finals lead to two games in front of a rapturous home crowd (and an equally invested star-studded celebrity row). Now, the series moves to Cleveland for two games in the Cavaliers’ home court beginning with tonight’s Game 3.
