We begin with the stretch run in the National Basketball Association, and teams jockeying for playoff position, or trying to make it in.

The Portland Trailblazers were in L.A to play the defending champion Lakers.
The Lakers have already booked the first seed in the Western Conference...taking on the Portland Trailblazers, looking to move up from eighth in the West and avoid the first round date with the Lakers.
Early first, Lakers up 8 when Brandon Roy goes to work, he gets the tough lay-up to go, and the foul.
But he comes up lame, Roy...injuring his knee on the play, he would leave the game at halftime and will be evaluated on Monday.
