NBA fans are reading between the lines after LeBron James made some pointed comments about modern offense on the Mind The Game podcast. On the surface, LeBron was talking basketball theory. Dig a little deeper, though, and plenty of people think his words carried a subtle message aimed at his own teammate, Luka Doncic.

LeBron James scored 30 points, Luca Doncic capped his 30-point, 10-assist performance with a pair of off-balance, bail-out 3s as the shot clock wound down, and the Los Angeles Lakers held off the reel...

Deandre Ayton had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who won for the fourth time in their past five games while sending the Pelicans to their eighth straight loss.
