Apr 10, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) controls the ball against Phoenix Suns forward Ryan Dunn (0) during the first half at Crypto.com Arena. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images LeBron James scored 28 points and dished 12 assists to become the fourth player in NBA history to top 12,000 in a career, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a convincing 101-73 victory over the visiting Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
Luke Kennard added 19 points in the victory that assured Los Angeles (52-29) will finish no lower than fourth place in the Western Conference and have homecourt advantage in a first-round playoff series.
The Lakers remain one game behind the third-place Denver Nuggets (53-28) with one game to play, and Los Angeles owns the tiebreaker edge.
Dillon Brooks scored 12 points and reserve Royce O’Neale added 11 for the Suns (44-37), who were without star Devin Booker (ankle). Phoenix scored just 25 second-half points in a contest that meant nothing after it previously locked up the No. 7 spot in the West and a home play-in game.
The Suns’ Grayson Allen exited in the second quarter due to a left hamstring injury and didn’t return. He had eight points in 13 minutes.
Assist No. 12,000 came less than five minutes into the game when James collected a rebound on the defensive end and threw a long chest pass to the other end. Deandre Ayton caught the ball over the smaller Collin Gillespie and put it in the hoop.
That was James’ second assist of the contest. At the game’s end, James’ total sat at 12,010.
Former Utah Jazz star John Stockton is the all-time leader with 15,806 career assists. Recently retired Chris Paul (12,552) is second and Jason Kidd (12,091) stands third.
Rui Hachimura added 13 points and Ayton scored 10 for the Lakers, who shot 50.7% from the field and were 8 of 20 (40%) from 3-point range.
James had 14 points and five assists in the first quarter. Los Angeles led 30-14 late in the period before the Suns went on a 22-5 burst and took a 36-35 lead in the second quarter on a 3-pointer by O’Neale.
The Lakers recovered to lead 57-48 at halftime. James had 22 points and Kennard added 17 in the half.
Late in the third quarter, James scored on a layup to push the lead to 17. Then he stole the ball and cruised uncontested for a ferocious dunk that made it 79-60 with 1:12 left in the period.
Los Angeles held an 81-64 edge entering the fourth quarter and led by as many as 29 as Phoenix managed just nine final-quarter points on 4-of-21 shooting (19%).
The Suns committed 24 turnovers and shot just 33.8%, including a shaky 7 of 40 (17.5%) from behind the arc.

The Suns scored just 25 second-half points in a contest that meant nothing after it previously locked up the No. 7 spot in the West and a home play-in game. Grayson Allen exited in the second quarter due to a left hamstring injury and didn’t return.
Victor Wembanyama showed that he is playoff-ready after an injury by amassing 40 points and 13 rebounds as host San Antonio Spurs pummelled Dallas Mavericks.
Wembanyama, back after missing a game and a half with a left rib contusion, reached the 65-game requirement for league postseason awards. De’Aaron Fox added 18 points and 10 assists for the Spurs, who have won 14 of their past 15 games.

Apr 10, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (5) hits a three-run home run home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the third inning at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Max Muncy’s two-out solo home run in the bottom of the ninth capped off his second career three-run game, and it gave the Los Angeles Dodgers an 8-7 walkoff win over the Texas Rangers Friday night in Los Angeles.
Andy Pages homered and collected his fourth three-hit game of the season, and the Dodgers overcame the first blown save of the season from closer Edwin Diaz, who ended up being the winning pitcher.
The Dodgers won for the sixth time in seven games, notched their sixth comeback win this season and became the first team in Major League Baseball to reach 10 wins in 2026.
Pages continued his torrid start to the season with his team-leading fourth home of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth inning that gave the Dodgers a 7-4 lead. Pages also hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, giving the Dodgers a 5-4 lead after they trailed 4-2.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead on Muncy’s home run in the second inning. Then former Dodgers star Corey Seager hit a three-run home run to give Texas the lead.
Seager hit his second three-run home run against the Dodgers, with whom he was a two-time All-Star, National League Rookie of the Year, World Series and National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player.
Muncy’s second home run made it 3-2 for Texas in the fourth. Wyatt Langford homered off Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow to make it 4-2 before Hyeseong Kim hit a sacrifice fly for the Dodgers.
Pages’ home run had the Dodgers in control going to the ninth, but Diaz gave up a two-run home run to Evan Carter and a tying single to Ezequiel Duran with two outs. That set the stage for Muncy’s winner off Rangers reliever Jacob Latz (0-1).
Prior to the game, the Dodgers held a moment of silence for the late Davey Lopes, who passed away earlier this week. Lopes was part of one of the most productive infields in major league history, the Dodgers’ second baseman for most of the 1970s and into the 80s.

Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Max Muncy’s two-out solo home run in the bottom of the ninth capped off his second career three-run game, and it gave the Los Angeles Dodgers an 8-7 walkoff win over the Texas Rangers Friday night in Los Angeles.
Andy Pages homered and collected his fourth three-hit game of the season, and the Dodgers overcame the first blown save of the season from closer Edwin Diaz, who ended up being the winning pitcher.
The Dodgers won for the sixth time in seven games, notched their sixth comeback win this season and became the first team in Major League Baseball to reach 10 wins in 2026.
Pages continued his torrid start to the season with his team-leading fourth home of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth inning that gave the Dodgers a 7-4 lead. Pages also hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, giving the Dodgers a 5-4 lead after they trailed 4-2.
The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead on Muncy’s home run in the second inning. Then former Dodgers star Corey Seager hit a three-run home run to give Texas the lead.
Seager hit his second three-run home run against the Dodgers, with whom he was a two-time All-Star, National League Rookie of the Year, World Series and National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player.
Muncy’s second home run made it 3-2 for Texas in the fourth. Wyatt Langford homered off Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow to make it 4-2 before Hyeseong Kim hit a sacrifice fly for the Dodgers.
Pages’ home run had the Dodgers in control going to the ninth, but Diaz gave up a two-run home run to Evan Carter and a tying single to Ezequiel Duran with two outs. That set the stage for Muncy’s winner off Rangers reliever Jacob Latz (0-1).
Prior to the game, the Dodgers held a moment of silence for the late Davey Lopes, who passed away earlier this week. Lopes was part of one of the most productive infields in major league history, the Dodgers’ second baseman for most of the 1970s and into the 80s.

अगर चुनाव आयोग की ओर से जारी अंतिम मतदाता सूची पर नजर डालें तो 7.3 करोड़ यानी 54.54 प्रतिशत पुरुष मतदाता हैं, जबकि 6.09 करोड़ यानी 45.46 प्रतिशत महिला मतदाता शामिल हैं। वहीं आयोग का कहना है कि SIR प्रक्रिया के तहत मृत, स्थानांतरित, डुप्लीकेट और अनट्रेसेबल मतदाताओं के नाम हटाए गए हैं, ताकि मतदाता सूची को अधिक सटीक और पारदर्शी बनाया जा सके।
लखनऊ में सबसे अधिक कटे वोट- SIR की इस प्रक्रिया में लखनऊ में सबसे ज्यादा 9.14 लाख मतदाता कम हुए हैं। SIRसे पहले लखनऊ में 39,94,535 वोटर थे। जबकि अंतिम ड्राफ्ट सूची में 27,94,397 नाम रह गए। अंतिम सूची में 2,85,961 नाम बढ़े। इस हिसाब से यहाँ कुल 9,14,177 नाम कटे हैं। अब कुल 30,80,358 मतदाता रह गए हैं। वहीं वोटर्स के नाम कटने में प्रयागराज जिला दूसरे नंबर पर है। SIR से पहले यहाँ 46,92,860 मतदाता थे। ड्राफ्ट सूची में 11,56,306 नाम कट गए और मतदाता 35,36,554 रह गए। अंतिम सूची में 3,29,421 नाम बढ़े।
इसके बाद कानपुर नगर में 6.87 लाख, आगरा में 6.37 लाख और गाजियाबाद में 5.74 लाख मतदाता कम हुए हैं। प्रतिशत के लिहाज से डिप्टी सीएम ब्रजेश पाठक की लखनऊ कैंट विधानसभा सीट पर सबसे ज्यादा 34.18% वोटर कम हुए हैं। संख्या के हिसाब से देखें तो आईटी मंत्री सुनील शर्मा की साहिबाबाद विधानसभा सीट पर सबसे ज्यादा 3,16,484 मतदाता कम हुए हैं। पिछले विधानसभा चुनाव में सुनील शर्मा सबसे अधिक मतों से जीते थे।
2 करोड़ वोट कटने पर सियासी घमासान-वहीं यूपी में दो करोड़ से अधिक वोट कटने पर अब सियासी घमासान तेज हो गया है। समाजवादी पार्टी के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष अखिलेश यादव ने गंभीर सवाल उठाते हुए कहा कि इतनी बड़ी संख्या में वोट कटना सामान्य प्रक्रिया नहीं हो सकती। सपा सुप्रीमो अखिलेश यादव ने SIR की पूरी प्रक्रिया पर सवाल उठाते हुए भाजपा पर संवैधानिक संस्थाओं के दुरुपयोग का आरोप लगाया है। अखिलेश यादव ने कहा कि बीजेपी जब मुद्दों से हारने लगती है तो वह इंस्टीट्यूशंस के पीछे छिपकर वार करती है। भाजपा ईडी-इनकम टैक्स और सीबीआई के नाम पर भी पूरी तरह एक्सपोज हो चुकी है। भाजपा चुनाव आयोग से मिलकर चुनाव लड़ती है। यूपी के उपचुनाव में वोटों की लूट और डकैती हुई थी. एसआईआर के नाम पर फर्जी दस्तखत के जरिए समाजवादी पार्टी के वोट कटवाए गए हैं।
अखिलेश यादव ने कहा कि शिकायतों के बावजूद चुनाव आयोग कोई कार्रवाई नहीं कर रहा है। इन सबके बावजूद बीजेपी को जैसे लोकसभा में हराया, वैसे ही 27 के चुनाव में भी हराएंगे. बीजेपी वाले अभी यह समझ नहीं पा रहे हैं। जहां बीजेपी है, वहां पीड़ा है और जहां पीड़ा है, वहां PDA है। PDA सामाजिक न्याय का राज लाने के लिए काम करता रहेगा।उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि इससे विशेष वर्गों के मतदाता प्रभावित हुए हैं और यह लोकतांत्रिक व्यवस्था के लिए चिंता का विषय है। अखिलेश यादव ने हटाए गए मतदाताओं की पूरी सूची सार्वजनिक करने, नाम दोबारा जोड़ने की प्रक्रिया आसान बनाने और पूरे मामले की स्वतंत्र जांच कराने की मांग की है।
वहीं अखिलेश यादव के बयान पर प्रदेश भाजपा अध्यक्ष पंकज चौधरी ने तीखी प्रतिक्रिया व्यक्त करते हुए कहा कि जब-जब समाजवादी पार्टी चुनावी मैदान में जनता का विश्वास खोती है,तब-तब वह लोकतांत्रिक संस्थाओं पर अनर्गल आरोप लगाकर अपनी जिम्मेदारी से बचने का प्रयास करती है। उन्होंने कहा कि सच्चाई यह है कि देश की संवैधानिक संस्थाएं पूर्णतः स्वतंत्र और निष्पक्ष तरीके से कार्य कर रही हैं तथा उन पर सवाल उठाना लोकतंत्र को कमजोर करने का प्रयास है। वहीं फर्जी वोट कटवाने के आरोपों परपंकज चौधरी ने कहा कि यह पूरी तरह से निराधार और मनगढ़ंत कहानी है। जनता समाजवादी पार्टी जैसी नकारात्मक सोच वाली राजनीति को पूरी तरह नकार कर भाजपा को अभूतपूर्व जीत दिलाने के लिए मतदान करेगी।
