LeBron James owns Russell Westbrook in Lakers-Rockets Game 1

 Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James destroyed Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook in Game 1 of Friday night's NBA Western Conference semifinal playoff matchup.

James put Westbrook on a poster by dunking on him in the first half (and drawing the foul), then swatting him twice in the second half, making for some impressive highlights.

James finished with 20 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and those two monster blocks on Westbrook. However, Westbrook had the last laugh with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists as the Rockets beat the Lakers 112-97 to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

According to most experts, the Lakers still have strong odds to win the NBA championship despite losing the opening game of the series. However, another win by the Rockets would certainly change that. This scenario is playing out in the Eastern Conference as the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks have seen their odds nosedive as the Miami Heat has taken a 3-0 lead. This turn of events certainly fits into the 2020 narrative.

Austin Rivers grabs rebound, preventing teammate James Harden from triple-double

Houston Rockets point guard Austin Rivers found himself apologizing to superstar teammate James Harden for preventing him from earning a triple-double in Tuesday night's 125-110 win over Charlotte.

With under 30 seconds left in the game, Harden had 40 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds. With only one more rebound needed to complete the triple-double, he seemed to have the perfect opportunity as Hornets forward Miles Bridges shot a 3-pointer that bounced off the rim. However, Rivers didn't get the memo, as he instinctively grabbed the rebound before Harden could get to the ball.

Rivers realized his mistake a few seconds later and apologized to Harden from across the court. Unfortunately, with the final seconds winding down, there was going to be no way for Rivers to make it up to him.

Harden played it off like it was no big deal, but he didn't look happy.
