The Lakers star guard delivered a masterclass performance, scoring 45 points, including 10 in overtime, to secure a dramatic 122-118 victory over the Warriors. Carter also contributed 8 assists and 6 rebounds, proving once again why he's the team's go-to player in clutch moments. The win strengthens the Lakers playoff positioning as they continue their push for a higher seed.

The Heat have bolstered their frontcourt by signing seasoned center Alex Foster to a one-year deal. The 34-year-old big man, known for his defensive presence and rebounding ability, brings much-needed depth to Miami’s rotation. Foster averaged 9.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game last season and is expected to provide valuable minutes off the bench as the Heat gear up for a deep playoff run.
