In the postgame, Memphis guard Desmond Bane, who scored 22 in a losing effort, when asked about the gamplan for guarding Hachimura and adjustments going forward, Bane had…

It was reported by Chris Haynes and others Thursday that Lebron James would possibly return to action for the Lakers final few games of the regular season.
