[1/63] Nov 8, 2023; Houston, Texas, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) looks over video with assistant coach Phil Handy before playing against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center. Sengun matched Green in efficiency, going 8 of 10 from the floor while, like Green, adding seven rebounds. The Rockets ran away and hid from the Lakers early, amassing 20 points in the paint in the opening period. The ease with which Houston scored was enhanced by superior ball security -- the Rockets committed only two turnovers in the first quarter -- and sticky defense. Rockets reserve Tari Eason paired nine points with nine rebounds in his season debut.

Mandatory Credit: Thomas Shea-USA TODAY SportsApril 21 (Reuters) - Golfers have risen to the varied challenges that the new home of the Chevron Championship in Carlton Woods Texas brought after moving from its longtime home at Mission Country Club in Palm Springs. World number two Nelly Korda overcame a rollercoaster round on what she claimed was a completely different course than the opening round on Thursday. Thailand's Patty Tavatanakit, 2021 Chevron winner, also took advantage of the course conditions posting the best early round of the day by returning a five under-67. It feels like we're not playing The Chevron Championship just because the grass and everything is so East Coast."
