The hosts survived Scottie Barnes' 32 points and O.G. Anunoby's 31 points to seal an important win in their quest for a playoff spot.

James seemed to love what he saw from his team.

"️️️️️ Man I love this team!!!"

Russell was just returning from an ankle issue that had kept him out of the Lakers' last six games.

"I was just flowing, honestly. Obviously this is my first game back and just itching to get back on the floor, so to get back out there and perform and be back out there with those guys, they were playing at a high level, and to be able to contribute to that was just fun," via ESPN.
