NBA in-season tournament: Lakers take LeBron James-Kevin Durant duel, while Clippers stumble hard

The second day of the NBA in-season tournament saw LeBron James and Kevin Durant nearly combine to score their ages, with the Los Angeles Lakers pulling out a much-needed 122-119 comeback win in a battle between two future Hall of Famers.

The Lakers entered Friday on a three-game losing streak and responded by swapping out Austin Reaves, whom they just gave $56 million, for Cam Reddish. The Phoenix Suns were still without Devin Booker, but it didn't look like a huge issue for most of the night.
