the game of the night came from the N B A is the Lakers were taken on the Rockets for the second time in three days.

The Lakers of the only unbeaten team on the road in the league, and it is because they do things like this, Anthony Davis says to James Harden.

The imperative

Lakers had four blocks in the first quarter.

That's K C P three Lakers up 21 after one.

There was one moment worth seeing, though.

Then he's gonna go to the corner and watch as he puts up the three.

He's the only one in the building, not watching it.

But this was definitely the highlight moment.

Everyone on the court is watching the ball except LeBron, who just turns and says, Oh, yeah, I got this and then it goes.

1 17, 100 to Shawn Watson was there, taking in all the action.

James Harden, Meanwhile, not happy and couldn't hold it in anymore, which is not good enough.

Tell him I was just everything, and it was clear.

You know something that I don't think it be fixed.

Houston continues to talk with teams about a heart and trade.

They would do one right now if there was a deal in place, Uh, that they felt gave a maximum value that ultimately was good as anything they could get for him.

But, you know, they've worked with James Harden.

He would like to go play for Brooklyn, Philadelphia at the top of that list.

Listen, this is uncomfortable for the rockets.

They have a first year general manager and Rafael Stone.

You know, I think people around the league want to test the new GM, but what they've seen from him so far is that he is holding toe what he has been consistently told.

Teams here is the kind of package I want for a player of James Harden's magnitude, and I'm going to keep working you guys until I get it.

And a za uncomfortable is this is what would be much worse for the organization would be, uh, to sell themselves short on a trade package.

This is a long term decision that's going to set up the future of this organization, and I think they're willing to live through what is going on right now until they can get that deal.

But they would like to get it done a soon as possible now.

But the living through peace makes sense because he has multiple years left on his deal.

So it's there isn't really a rush here, and he can't do anything but continue to play in the interim.

Meanwhile, you mentioned one of the teams that he wants to go to his Brooklyn.

Most are probably aware of Kyrie Irving, his absence, the video that was circulating yesterday on Twitter and other places of him, apparently at a birthday party.

Massless the team put out a statement or the general manager put out a statement yesterday, Let me show it to you here from Sean Marks, we are aware of a video on social media featuring Kyrie at a family gathering.

We are reviewing the circumstances with both Kyrie and the MBA in order to determine compliance with health and safety protocols.

Kyrie will have the opportunity to address his absence when he is ready to do so.

Well, we at this point have no idea when that might be.

But you were telling us earlier that at this point when he may return has sort of gotten out of his hands a little bit.

Explained that to the fans, Well, it's in the league's hands now, and they're going to decide, Uh, if there is a violation of the covert protocol by going to that gathering.

With so many people in an enclosed area and no masks, he's looking at, you know, possibly or perhaps even likely, a quarantine of an extended period of time.

Loss of salary would be about $410,000 a game for each game, he misses because of that, uh, incident.

And so right now, him wanting to come back and play the Nets wanting him back it is not in their hands because of that video.

You know, don't expect to see Kyrie Irving back perhaps through next week if the league rules against him on that and again, that doesn't seem to be any indication of when he wants to.

In the first place was outstanding, as always, thank you.

We'll keep you close, and we'll see if anything develops on Harden today.

Meanwhile, let me run the floor through some of the other MBA action from yesterday.

The Sixers hung on to beat the Heat in overtime.

Danny Green match the Sixers record with nine threes.

Elsewhere, the Pacers held off Steph Curry and the Warriors, 104 to 95 to Indiana, improved to seven and four on the season.

Steph Curry finished with 24 Golden State and Kevin Durant had 34 points, 13 assists, nine boards.

Bruce Brown made a huge contribution, starting for the absent Kyrie Irving, and the Nets rallied from 18 down to beat Denver.
