Good morning! A lot happens in sports, even when you’re busy doing other non-sports-y stuff. So here are the top headlines and moments from yesterday, in case you missed anything while you were watching the Democratic Debate.
Warriors lose to the Lakers? Yes, you read that correctly
Um, I’m not sure how to write this: the Warriors lost to the Lakers. Yes, the lowly 13-51 Lakers defeated the 55-6 Warriors. Take a minute to let that sink in.
Entering the game, the teams had a .727-difference in win percentage, making the Lakers’ win the biggest upset in NBA history. Kobe Bryant scored just 12 points, but Los Angeles got 25 points from rookie D’Angelo Russell and 21 from Jordan Clarkson. Stephen Curry (18 points) and Klay Thompson (15) were Golden State’s only players in double-figures but the Splash Brothers shot just 1-for-18 from three-point range, their worst shooting performance as teammates. Check the highlights:

Mascot flip gone wrong
Our must-see moment comes from a media timeout during Miami’s 103-98 win over Philadelphia. For some inexplicable reason, someone thought it was a good idea for Heat mascot Burnie to flip over a row of more than six other mascots. It didn’t go so well, but Burnie still popped up like everything was all good:
