LeBron James turned back the clock with a standout performance as the Los Angeles Lakers took control of their play off series with a 101-94 win over the Houston Rockets.

With key scorers Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves sidelined through injury, the 41 year old stepped up, delivering 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists to guide his team to victory.

Houston welcomed back Kevin Durant, who led his side with 23 points but struggled to maintain his impact after halftime.

The result gives the Lakers a 2-0 lead in the best of seven series.

KSAMC to formally recognise dancehall legend Bounty Killer with Key to the City of Kingston

Dancehall legend Bounty Killer is set to receive one of Kingston’s highest civic honours, as the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) moves to formally recognise his towering contribution to Jamaican music and community development.

The resolution, recently passed by the municipal body, will see the veteran deejay awarded the Key to the City of Kingston. At the same time, a road in his community of Seaview Gardens will also be renamed in his honour—a fitting tribute that recognises his legacy both in the cultural landscape and in the community that helped shape him.
