LA: Shine bright like a diamond

🏀NBA: Yesterday, both of our NBA teams had highly anticipated matchups featuring superstar duels. LeBron and the Lakers did not disappoint, besting Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors 117–91 in dominating fashion. LeBron even cheekily sank a shot from way behind the three-point line (literally in Steph's usual territory). What can we say, LA’s just better than the Bay.

• Unfortunately, the Clippers didn’t fare as well. They got dunked on by Giannis Antetokounmpo (pronounced YONNIS ANDEDO-KOONPO) in a tight 105–100 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

• The Clips didn’t score in the game’s final four minutes, including Kawhi Leonard missing the potential game-tying shot. Let’s hope they bounce back tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT against the Boston Celtics.

🤸‍♀️Gymnastics: No. 13 UCLA gymnastics hosted, and won, their first-ever Black Excellence meet on Saturday, debuting powerful leotards, which the team’s four Black gymnasts provided design input on. The Bruins continued the message of the meet on the floor exercise, where all six gymnasts in the lineup added a raised fist to their routines. Trailblazers.
