Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images LeBron James had 24 points and 11 assists to help the visiting Los Angeles Lakers rout the Washington Wizards 134-96 on Thursday.
Bronny James, the 20-year-old son of 40-year-old LeBron, entered the game for Los Angeles to start the fourth quarter and played the entire final 12 minutes. He made 1 of his 6 field goal attempts — a three-point play for the second bucket of his NBA career — and finished with a career-high five points.
Rui Hachimura added 22 points, while Shake Milton chipped in 21 points off the bench as the Lakers won their fifth game in six tries. Austin Reaves had 17 points, Max Christie followed with 13 and Jaxson Hayes paired 10 points with 10 rebounds. Dalton Knecht also scored 10 off the bench.
Washington, which dropped its 16th straight game, was led by Jordan Poole’s 19 points and Kyle Kuzma’s 13. Corey Kispert scored 11 points as the Wizards shot just 31.9 percent from the field.
After trailing 78-45 at halftime, Washington began the third quarter on a 7-0 run, capped with Kuzma’s three-point play at the 9:50 mark. The Lakers answered with a 10-0 spurt that included five straight points from James.
Bub Carrington’s floater and Milton’s free throws stamped the team’s respective third quarter scoring as Los Angeles led 105-70 entering the fourth. Milton scored seven in a row to push the margin to 40 at 115-75 with 8:29 left.
Los Angeles led 42-29 after the first quarter.
Bilal Coulibaly’s pullup jumper trimmed the Lakers’ lead to 18-15 with 6:02 left before Christie and Reaves’ 3-pointers stamped an 11-3 Los Angeles run.
The Lakers’ advantage ballooned to 17 in the second quarter as Hachimura accounted for five points during a 7-0 run that pushed the lead to 49-32.
After Richaun Holmes’ layup and Kuzma’s free throw stopped the bleeding for Washington, back-to-back dunks by Hayes and Hachimura began an 8-0 run that extended the Los Angeles lead to 57-35 with 6:59 left in the second quarter.
Coulibaly’s dunk cut Washington’s deficit to 66-42, but Christie’s triple at the 3:24 mark jumpstarted a 10-0 Lakers run.

Hannah Green wins her 2nd HSBC Women's World Championship
Aug 21, 2025; Mississauga, Ontario, CAN; Hannah Green plays her tee shot at the third hole during first round play at the CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green held off Auston Kim on Sunday to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore for the second time.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish with a 3-under 69 and a final score of 14-under at Sentosa Golf Club. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner tapped in for bogey at the 18th for her seventh LPGA Tour title.
“When I did win Singapore two years ago, I went on to win two other tournaments that season and pretty much had my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So having a win so early in the season gives me a bit more flexibility with the tournaments that I can play. So I’m hoping that this puts me in good stead for the rest of the year.”
Green was at 16-under after birdies at the first, 11th and 13th holes and an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole. Her birdie at the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew that I had enough of a lead to be able to get away with making mistakes coming down the stretch. But I think 15 was the real turning point,” she said.
First- and second-round leader Kim nearly chased down her first title, matching the low round of the day with a 67 to finish one shot behind Green in the 72-hole, no-cut tournament.
Kim carded six birdies and an eagle at No. 8, but a bogey at the par-3 15th proved costly for the 25-year-old American.
“Overall, I think it was a really solid week,” Kim said. “A great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots but I also hit a lot of good ones, and it was really confidence boosting. I hit all these bad shots, and I didn’t feel like I had anything chose to my A game, but I was still able it pull off a result like this and play some really solid golf.”
Australia’s Minjee Lee (72 on Sunday), Angel Yin (71) and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu (72) another shot back in solo sixth.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand finished with a 73 and tied for 31st at 2-under, one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko (72) of New Zealand.

Feb 22, 2026; West Palm Beach, Florida, USA; St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol (37) looks on from inside the dugout against the Houston Astros during the fifth inning at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season, the team announced Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, which holds an option for the 2029 season.
“As I’ve gotten to know Oli, I’ve seen someone who cares about this organization and knows what has made the Cardinals special over time — and who understands that for us to get where we need to go, we must compete relentlessly to set new standards in everything that we do,” president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said.
“He is invested in the progress of our young core and is unafraid to challenge himself and to help those around him grow. I am energized to continue working with him towards the on-field success that we expect and that our fans deserve.”
Marmol, 39, has guided the Cardinals to a 325-323 record during his four seasons as the skipper. He led St. Louis to the National League Central title in 2022 before the team fell in the wild-card series to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Last season, the Cardinals posted a 78-84 record to finish in fourth place in the NL Central.
Marmol was a coach with St. Louis from 2017-21 under previous managers Mike Shildt and Mike Matheny.
