Found footage movies are tough to pull off. For every classic like The Blair Witch Project or Rec, there are 100 movies like Slender and Megan Is Missing that are, at best, forgettable, and at worst, an affront to the very concept of cinema. My personal favorite, though, is Lake Mungo, a slow burn mokumentary with found footage elements that manages to be both creepy and emotionally wrenching. Oh, and it’s gloriously concise at under an hour and a half.
Lake Mungo is, first and foremost, one of the most convincingly realized mokumentaries ever made. If you told someone it was a legit documentary about a supposed haunting, there’s a chance they’d believe you. The style is spot-on, the performances pitch-perfect, and it never overreaches. Other horror films in this style eventually go too far, resorting to bombast, like the BBC’s Ghostwatch (which is also excellent). But Lake Mungo remains understated, even when it shows purported footage of a ghost.
Director and writer Joel Anderson hasn’t helmed a feature film since. Though he has found work in the film industry recently, including on 2023’s Late Night with the Devil, after an over 10-year absence.
The story follows the Palmer family as they struggle with the loss of 16-year-old Alice Palmer, who drowns while swimming in a lake. Mother June wanders her neighborhood late at night, unable to sleep, father Russell buries himself in work, and brother Matthew throws himself into his art. As you’d probably expect from this type of horror film, the family starts experiencing strange things — sounds, mysterious bruises, and even a full-on confrontation with an apparition.
From here, the film takes several twists and turns that elevate it above your typical “pots and pans” horror, which I will avoid spoiling. But its grainy, haunting segments and emotional interviews with the family get under your skin. There’s no jump scares, no gore, just expert tension building that eventually reaches a terrifying conclusion. The image at the climax of the film is one of the most haunting single frames of cinema ever.
The choice of Palmer as the last name here feels like an intentional nod to Twin Peaks, which also deals with the death of a young girl in a small town with secrets. Along the way, you discover more about Alice and the life she lived. She struggled to be seen for who she truly was, both in life and death. And just as the family finally finds closure and decides to move on, the film makes its final big reveal.
Because the movie spends its limited run time getting you invested in the characters and building backstory, the ending hits hard. If you want a horror film that packs an emotional punch, this is it. It’s definitely a downer of a flick, but one you’ll want to rewatch immediately.
As the couple marked their son Rocky Thirteen Barker turning 2, the Blink-182 drummer shared a touching birthday tribute to his youngest child.
“Happy Birthday my Rocky 13,” Travis, 49, wrote alongside a black heart emoji in a post on Instagram Nov. 1. “You’re such a special soul, and you make every day brighter. I love you. No one’s cooler.”
Along with the message, Travis—who also shares kids Atiana De La Hoya, 26, Landon Barker, 22, and Alabama Barker, 19, with ex Shanna Moakler—posted a photo of the toddler wearing a “13” tank top and baggy beige pants with a backwards hat while walking with his body turned away from the camera.
The occasion proved to be emotional for Kourtney—who is also mom to Mason Disick, 15, Penelope Disick, 13, and Reign Disick, 10, with ex Scott Disick—as she commented on Travis’ post with a simple puppy dog eyes emoji. The 46-year-old also shared the post on her Instagram Stories, where she used the same symbol to convey her feelings.

The leaves are falling, the hot takes are flowing, the clocks are turning back — and it is once again time for a meeting between two of the NFL’s best.
Both teams have finished atop their respective divisions for the past five seasons and have met in each regular season since 2020 — plus four postseason games in that span. After Sunday, the 10 matchups will mark the most between starting quarterbacks age 30 or younger from different divisions (three more than any other matchup). It is also tied for the most matchups over a six-season span between two teams from different divisions (1972-77, Steelers-Raiders).
Kansas City has had the advantage in the playoffs, winners of all four postseason matchups. But the Bills have won four of five regular-season meetings, including the past four in a row. The Bills’ defense has been the major difference. In the regular season, the Bills have allowed 20.8 points per game (while scoring 25.8). In the postseason, the Bills have allowed 34.8 points per game (while scoring 28.3).
There is potential for an 11th matchup this postseason, but both teams have real competition within their respective divisions and other AFC threats, including the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts.
Both teams have defensive lines with depth issues and MVP quarterbacks who have had to carry their offenses, at times. The Chiefs recently got back receiver Rashee Rice from suspension, but the Bills are still seeking a spark in the passing game.
This game is a stepping-stone for both teams in their quests for a Super Bowl title and could determine seeding later in the season. The Chiefs are looking to match the 1990s Bills as the only teams to reach four straight Super Bowls. The Bills haven’t reached the Super Bowl since 1993, the end of that run in the 90s, and are seeking a strong final season at their historic Highmark Stadium.
ESPN’s Chiefs reporter Nate Taylor and Bills reporter Alaina Getzenberg break down the matchup and where the two teams are in Week 9:
What is different about the Chiefs and Bills from last year?
Chiefs: Mahomes will have more passing options than he had a year ago. Receivers Rice and Hollywood Brown have helped the Chiefs’ offense become an explosive unit again, and even speedy receiver Xavier Worthy has shown improvement in his route running since his rookie season. The Chiefs have scored at least 28 points in each of their past five games, so this is a much better offense than a year ago.
Much of the attention for the Chiefs, winners in five of their past six games, has been on the offense. The Chiefs’ defense, however, appears to be more prepared. The Chiefs have surrendered just two touchdowns in the past 10 quarters, and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo should have all of his projected starters available. The linemen around pass rusher Chris Jones — defensive ends George Karlaftis, Charles Omenihu and Mike Danna — are performing better than at the beginning of the season, too.
One of the biggest themes for the Chiefs this season is Reid’s ultra-aggressiveness. With Mahomes on the field, the Chiefs have converted 14 of 16 fourth-down attempts (87.5%) — the highest success rate of teams that have had 10 or more attempts.
Bills: After a hot start to the season, the Bills lost two in a row before the team’s bye week. Injuries have piled up on defense, especially at defensive tackle, and continued adjustments will be needed.
The looming trade deadline marks an opportunity for the Bills, who have struggled with consistency in the downfield passing game. The struggles have played a part in Allen being sacked 14 times — the same number he had all of last season. He also has four interceptions, two shy of last season’s total.
Running back James Cook III has been an even bigger threat on the ground this year as the Bills seek a balanced offense, leading the league in rushing yards per game at 107.6. Unlike previous years, the Bills want the passing game to match the rushing attack, something coach Sean McDermott said was important this week.
There are some new faces along the team’s defensive line, including the offseason addition of Joey Bosa, who leads the league in pressure percentage (18.2%).
This year, the Bills and Chiefs have more competitors for the top seed in the AFC, increasing the importance of winning this game.
Speaking of those other AFC candidates …

Riddick: Bills’ roster is designed to beat Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs
Louis Riddick explains why a Week 9 loss to the Chiefs at home would be a devastating blow for the Bills.
Both teams have competition in the division for the first time in several seasons. How will they perform?
Chiefs: Reid acknowledged before the season how much the Chiefs’ AFC West rivals improved. The Los Angeles Chargers proved that by beating the Chiefs in São Paulo, Brazil, in the season opener. The Denver Broncos lead the division and have a 6-2 record entering Sunday behind the NFL’s top defense and Bo Nix‘s improved play in recent weeks.
The matchup against the Bills is the start of a critical stretch for the Chiefs, who still have four divisional games left. After their bye week, the Chiefs will face the Broncos and the red-hot Colts before their showcase game on Thanksgiving Day against the Dallas Cowboys. The Chiefs are hoping to capture their 10th consecutive AFC West crown, which would guarantee them at least one home playoff game. The Chiefs’ rematch against the Chargers, set for Dec. 14, will be an opportunity to illustrate how much their offense has improved since the opener.
With three losses already, the easiest way for the Chiefs to regain the division lead is to sweep the Broncos. Reid, Mahomes and the rest of the team will have plenty of motivation. Ten months ago, in the regular-season finale, the Broncos, needing a win to clinch the conference’s final playoff spot, beat Kansas City 38-0. One could argue the Chiefs, who had already clinched the top seed and rested their starters for the game, didn’t enjoy Broncos coach Sean Payton running up the score.
Bills: The New England Patriots are a real threat to the Bills’ quest for a sixth straight AFC East title. While the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets are near the bottom of the conference, Buffalo is second in the division at 5-2 behind the 6-2 Patriots, who are on a five-game winning streak.
The Patriots have the tiebreaker against the Bills after winning the Week 5 meeting, which ended Buffalo’s 14-game home winning streak. The Bills came into the season 26-6 vs. the AFC East in the regular season since 2020.
Last season, the Bills became the seventh team since 1980 to clinch a division title with five games remaining in a season. That’s not looking likely this season.
The Bills could even the score with the Patriots in December, but for now, Buffalo needs to keep up with New England to have a chance at the division title.
Allen and Mahomes are two of the NFL’s top QBs, but do they have the supporting casts to win the Super Bowl or make another deep run?
Chiefs: The Chiefs appear ready for another run in January and February. The Chiefs are one of the healthiest teams at the midway point of the regular season, and that’s one of the biggest benefits for Mahomes. He has his full complement of pass catchers, including tight end Travis Kelce and receivers in Rice, Worthy, Brown and deep-threat Tyquan Thornton.
Perhaps the biggest reason the Chiefs are ready for a playoff run is that they’ve appeared to solve their biggest issue from last season: left tackle. The Chiefs reached the Super Bowl last season despite using four players — Kingsley Suamataia, Wanya Morris, D.J. Humphries and All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney — at the position. The instability impacted Mahomes, who was sacked a career-high six times in the Chiefs’ blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX despite not being blitzed in the game; Mahomes also had a career-worst average of just 245 passing yards per game last season. But this season, the Chiefs have gotten improved play from rookie left tackle Josh Simmons, their first-round pick, and Jaylon Moore, their biggest acquisition in free agency.
With better protection, Mahomes has scrambled more often because of want rather than need. Each of his three touchdown passes in Monday’s win over the Washington Commanders occurred with him having at least four seconds to throw.
“It’s huge when you’re getting the time to sit in the pocket and kind of go through your reads and make that stuff happen,” Mahomes said Wednesday. “It gives you confidence that you’re seeing the right stuff. If you have confidence, then you can go out there and throw it the way you want to throw it. I think that’s huge, and it all starts up front with the O-line.”
The main issue for the Chiefs’ defense is the inconsistency of the pass rush. Jones is still one of the league’s most dominant interior rushers, often commanding two linemen to block him at all times. The Chiefs could look to add another lineman before the trade deadline.
The Chiefs will enter Highmark Stadium with the league’s second-best defense, which has allowed just 16.4 points per game. One reason for the success is that Spagnuolo might have the league’s best trio of linebackers in Nick Bolton, Drue Tranquill and Leo Chenal. The three linebackers have been effective in limiting the production of some standout running backs — including Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Travis Etienne Jr., Jahmyr Gibbs and rookie Ashton Jeanty. The biggest test for Spagnuolo’s linebackers will be Cook, who has been excellent this season.
Although the Chiefs don’t generate many turnovers, they tackle well in the open field.
“Each week, we are constantly trying to improve [and] get better at the fundamentals, the techniques, whatever it is,” said Danna, who recorded an interception and sack last week. “It’s about weeks of preparation. We take that very seriously, practicing with a purpose. There’s always room for improvement. The moment you feel like you’re good, you get complacent, and we don’t want to take our foot off the gas pedal. We don’t have [any] time or [any] room for that.”
Bills: A big question in Orchard Park is if the Bills will trade for a wide receiver before the deadline for a second straight year.
Second-year receiver Keon Coleman has not emerged the way the team had hoped. After a splashy start in Week 1 with eight receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown in the win vs. the Baltimore Ravens, Coleman has averaged 25.8 yards per game and scored just one touchdown. His lack of consistency is an issue.
“I just do my job, man, do my 1/11 and then everybody else do their 1/11, and when the pass game really is needed for us to really do what need to do, we’re going to capitalize,” Coleman said.
Per NFL Next Gen Stats heading into the Week 8 game vs. the Carolina Panthers, Allen had targeted a downfield open receiver (passes of 10-plus air yards with 3-plus yards of target separation) on a career-low 6.7% of his passes, the seventh-lowest rate in the NFL at the time. On throws of 20-plus air yards, Allen has nine completions (15th), 238 yards (23rd) and two interceptions.
The Bills’ offense has Cook, who has been electric this season, and was dynamic in Buffalo’s loss in the AFC Championship Game last season to the Chiefs. He is coming off a career-high 216-yard rushing performance. Wide receiver Khalil Shakir is also fifth in the league in yards after the catch (293).
On defense, the Bills have been decimated by injuries this season, with no position hit harder than defensive tackle. Ed Oliver is out indefinitely because of a torn left biceps, while DaQuan Jones (calf) will miss a third straight game.
The good news for the defense is that linebackers Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard are trending toward their returns. It also wouldn’t be surprising if rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston takes on a bigger role in his second game because of the speed of the Chiefs’ wide receivers (Hairston ran a 4.28 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine).
How have Mahomes and Allen played so far?
Chiefs: Mahomes is one of the leading MVP candidates because he has recorded a league-leading 17 passing touchdowns and committed just four interceptions — and two of those turnovers are after Kelce bobbled the ball. Unlike last year, Mahomes is also using his legs more often. He has generated 280 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. He is on pace to break his career high of 389 rushing yards, which he set in 2023.
In each of the past six games, Mahomes has spread his passes to at least six different teammates. Part of the reason for Mahomes’ success is that the offensive line has given him plenty of time. On pass attempts of over four seconds in last week’s win over the Commanders, Mahomes completed 8 of 9 passes for 149 yards and 3 touchdowns, according to Next Gen Stats.
“His ability to do it on the move is unique,” Reid said Wednesday of Mahomes. “You see a little bit of that from Josh, too. Pat’s got great vision, and I know [Hall of Famer] Troy Aikman mentioned [that]. He goes, ‘Man, his vision is unbelievable.’ He says [Mahomes] seems to see everything. He’s blessed with that part.”
Bills: Allen certainly hasn’t been at his best this season. The seven-year veteran said in the first half against the Panthers, he was not trusting his feet or eyes enough.
“There’s still the want and the hunger to continue to get better with myself mechanically,” Allen said. “And just making sure I’m doing the right things and trying to find myself and put myself in the best spots possible to deliver the best ball that I can to our receivers to go make plays for us.”
Allen has a 37 Total QBR in three games since Week 5 (26th out of 31 qualified quarterbacks) and has a Total QBR below 55 in three straight games, tied for the second-longest streak of his career and longest since 2019 (five straight).
There’s no doubt he remains one of the league’s best dual-threat quarterbacks. He has his highest completion percentage since 2020 (68%) and has kept the Bills’ offense in games this year.
Allen always seems to rise to the occasion for big games.
What will be the key for each quarterback to win on Sunday?
Chiefs: Limiting negative plays
In last week’s win over the Commanders, the Chiefs had two turnovers on their first two drives. They can not afford to make similar mistakes against the Bills. One reason the Chiefs have played with the lead during much of their three-game winning streak is that they haven’t committed many mistakes, whether it’s Mahomes being sacked, him throwing an interception or one of his teammates committing a penalty.
In last year’s loss to the Bills, Mahomes threw two interceptions, one on the opening drive and the other at the end of the game. If Mahomes has a clean sheet, and spreads the ball to his teammates, the Chiefs should have a chance to score 30 points.
Bills: Josh Allen being Superman
The Bills beat the Panthers almost solely on the strength of Cook and the offensive line, but that game plan is unlikely to work against Kansas City. Instead, Buffalo’s best chance of success is Allen having a signature standout performance in a big game, along with Cook’s brilliance on the ground.
The question this time is whether the defense is healthy enough to assist Allen and if he has the receivers to get the job done.

Texas Tech secured a commitment from one of the top quarterbacks in the 2027 cycle on Saturday night, with a pledge from four-star recruit Kavian Bryant, No. 47 in the ESPN Junior 300.
A dual-threat passer from Palestine, Texas, Bryant is ESPN’s No. 2 overall quarterback in the 2027 class. He picked the Red Raiders over finalists Texas, Florida State, Colorado and SMU.
“They reached out the most,” Bryant told ESPN of Texas Tech. “They came with the best offer and the best opportunity for me to play. I just feel like it’s the best fit.”
Bryant lands as a cornerstone commit in Red Raiders coach Joey McGuire’s 2027 recruiting class.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound prospect is Texas Tech’s first offensive pledge and fourth overall commit in the cycle. Bryant now joins five-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster (No. 6 overall), who picked the Red Raiders over a group of Big Ten and SEC powers on Oct. 4, as the program’s second top-100 commit in 2027. September defensive line pledges K’Adrian Redmond (No. 154) and Antonio Underwood (not ranked) round out Texas Tech’s collection of commits in the cycle.
The Red Raiders also hold the pledge of five-star linebacker LaDamion Guyton, who debuted at No. 13 in the 2026 ESPN 300 this week after reclassifying from the 2027 cycle last month.
Bryant has emerged as a highly productive quarterback across three seasons as the starter at Texas’ Palestine Westwood High School. He threw for 4,724 and 67 touchdowns to 10 interceptions across his freshman and sophomore seasons, accounting 1,521 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground over that span. Although Texas Tech was among the programs to offer Bryant in both football and basketball, he plans to focus solely on football at the next level.
Sources told ESPN that Texas, Florida State and Colorado lingered to the very end of the process late this week. But Bryant said no program recruited him more persistently than Texas Tech, highlighting his relationship with Red Raiders offensive coordinator Mack Leftwich as a key element in his decision.
Bryant worked out for Leftwich and McGuire in the summer, then returned to Texas Tech on Sept. 13 as part of a string of visits with each of his finalists this fall.
“They really, really wanted me,” Bryant said. “They watch my film every day. They show me what I’m good at and what I’m bad at, and I just listen. It’s part of why they’re the best.”
Sources expected the Red Raiders to remain aggressive in recruiting top talent in the 2027 cycle, with defensive tackle Georgia Toia (No. 29 overall), wide receiver Julian Caldwell (No. 40) and linebacker Kaden McCarty (No. 91) among their top targets. Now on board with the Red Raiders, Bryant will be tasked with helping to recruit an elite class to Texas Tech.
“I feel like I can go in there and lead a class,” Bryant said. “And whether it’s as a true freshman or the next year, I feel like I can go there and win a national championship.”
Anchored by five-star pledges in Guyton and offensive tackle Felix Ojo (No. 24), Texas Tech’s 2026 class sits at No. 18 in ESPN’s latest rankings for the cycle. The 13th-ranked Red Raiders visited Kansas State on Saturday at 7-1 with the nation’s fourth-ranked scoring offense.
There are plenty of good smartwatches out there, and Google’s last-gen Pixel Watch 3 is one of them. Right now, the 45mm / Wi-Fi model is available at Amazon, Walmart, and Target for $199.99 ($100 off), which is a new low price and $150 less than the Pixel Watch 4. In her review, our own Victoria Song noted how impressed she was by the larger size’s lengthy battery life, as well as how versatile a companion it was to Android phones, particularly Pixel devices. For example, you can use the watch as a remote for your Google TV, download offline Google Maps navigation routes, and create voice recordings that automatically sync and are transcribed on a Pixel phone.
The Pixel Watch 3 recently received an overhaul, too, as Google rolled out an update to Wear OS 6, which introduced a refreshed design and Gemini AI to the watch (our initial tests show that it still has a long way to go before becoming vital). On the fitness and wellness side, the Pixel Watch 3 can track your activity, sleep, blood oxygen level, and heart rate. You can also use it to take an EKG from your wrist, if you feel the need.
If you need to charge more than one device at a time, Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C cable will let you do that. It’s a practical, inexpensive gadget we think you’ll enjoy, and it’s nearly matching its best-ever price at $16.99 ($9 off) at Amazon (with Prime) and Anker’s online storefront (with code WSPDV22SVFBJ). One end of the cable plugs into the power adapter, while the other splits into two USB-C cables that can be plugged into different devices.
You can use any USB-C power adapter with this cable, but you’ll take full advantage of its peak power throughput with a 140W adapter — such as Apple’s 140W USB-C Power Adapter, which is also on sale for $74.99 ($25 off) at Amazon. The cable will automatically allocate how much power to send to both devices, but if you plug in two laptops, the first one that’s plugged in gets priority.
Microsoft’s official Xbox Wireless Controller has held the top spot in our guide to the best Xbox controllers for years, and now the black and white versions are selling for a new low of $39.99 ($25 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The wireless gamepad is comfortable to hold, and its buttons, triggers, joysticks, and D-pad feel satisfying to use. I’ve used the one that came with my Xbox Series X for nearly five years, and it still feels new, with no dropped inputs or other signs of wear.
It runs on a pair of AA batteries, which you can easily swap out. You can also purchase a rechargeable battery pack for the controller if you prefer, but be mindful that it’ll lose its charging capacity over time. Xbox’s wireless controller costs as much on sale as many of our wired recommendations, and its wire-free design means you won’t feel tied down when you use it.
The “Bad at Love” singer and her fiancé Avan Jogia embraced the Halloween spirit with a chilling photoshoot in which they sported quite the head-turning couples costume: no costume at all.
Indeed, the pair went completely nude in photos shared on Instagram Oct. 31, lying in bed with fake blood splattered across their bodies as well as their white linen sheets. In one pic, Avan, 33, turned his face away from the camera with his body covering Halsey’s as she stared vacantly into the lens, while she bared her bottom in the second shot as she reached her right arm to stroke her partner’s hair.
The 31-year-old (real name Ashley Frangipane) acknowledged the gory nature of the shoot by adding a red droplet emoji to her caption, adding, “Big night out.”
Halsey and Avan—who confirmed their engagement in September 2024—weren’t the only celebrity duo to coordinate their looks for the occasion. In fact, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos got festive for the Halloween episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, donning matching Love Island-inspired ensembles consisting of oversized T-shirts with cartoon swimwear and over-the-top wigs to channel the cast of the reality dating series.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — After Austin Reaves carried the Lakers as their solo star all week, Luka Doncic returned Friday to take the baton back with another 40-point performance in Los Angeles’ 117-112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Doncic, who missed the previous three games with a sprained finger on his left hand and a lower left leg contusion that he thought might keep him out until at least Sunday, flew to Memphis separately to join the team Thursday and went on to pour in a game-high 44 points.
It was Doncic’s third straight 40-point game after scoring 43 on opening night against Golden State followed by 49 against Minnesota, becoming the only player in NBA history other than Wilt Chamberlain to top the 40-point plateau in three straight games to begin his season. (Chamberlain did it twice — seven straight games in 1962-63 and five straight in 1961-62).
“I mean, I feel great,” Doncic said when asked about being included in such rare company with the basketball legend. “But obviously, if we get a win, I feel even better. So that’s the whole point, trying to help the team to win. And sometimes it’s going to be scoring, sometimes other things.”
He did other things, too, leading L.A. with 12 rebounds and six assists as the Lakers fought back from a 15-point second-half deficit to win their first NBA Cup group play game, but it was the scoring that was most impressive — especially because of the other luminaries he joined.
Only Chamberlain, Doncic and Michael Jordan in 1986-87 scored 125 points or more in their first three games to start a season; Doncic has 136.
And, by averaging 45.3 points in his first three games, Doncic became the first Lakers player since Kobe Bryant in 2007 to average 45 or more in any three-game span.
Doncic was asked if he could become the only player other than Chamberlain to average 40 for a season.
“That’s going to be tough,” Doncic said. “Sometimes they’re going to double me more. Sometimes I won’t be able to score that much. I had I think three or four shots that were crazy shots that I felt like doing, but they were terrible shots. So … I’ve got to work on that. But that’s tough. I don’t know.”
When told that Reaves didn’t think it was crazy, saying after the Lakers’ home win over Minnesota that he thought 40 was within Doncic’s reach, Doncic said with a smile, “Austin’s stupid.”
Reaves averaged 40 points on 50% shooting (41.4% from 3) with 10 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals in the three games that Doncic missed, with LeBron James (sciatica) also sidelined. After Friday’s win, he had more praise for Doncic, and a critique of himself.
“His ability to get us off to hot starts is big for us because, if you come out and he has 15 in the first, we’re going to score, I would assume, 30 [points],” Reaves said of Doncic, who leads the league in first-quarter scoring, averaging 13 points. “Unless everybody else is shooting bricks like I was tonight.”
Reaves started the game 2-for-9 but finished as the Lakers’ second-leading scorer with 21 points.
L.A. also got big contributions from Marcus Smart, who was in the starting lineup after a two-game absence because of a right quad injury and put up 12 points, four assists and two steals; and Jake LaRavia, who had 13 points, five rebounds and three steals against his former team.
Deandre Ayton had nine points on 4-for-6 shooting in the first half but didn’t play after halftime because of what coach JJ Redick called “middle back spasms.” Ayton spent the third quarter in the locker room trying to get loose and said he would have returned to the game in the fourth quarter if called upon, but L.A. was able to hold on without him.
Ayton said he expects to be available when the Lakers host the Miami Heat on Sunday.
That will be another opportunity for Doncic to score 40 and another chance for his teammates to find ways to describe what they are seeing from their teammate.
“Fantasticness,” Smart said, making up his own word for what Doncic is doing this season. “It’s been great to watch.”
With the holidays quickly approaching, everyone will soon be on the hunt for gifts and the fastest way to get them. Thankfully, many retailers offer generous shipping policies for their products, with some even providing free two-day shipping or even same-day delivery if you’re willing to pay a little extra. And just in case the gift you choose isn’t quite right, many retailers offer extended return policies so your giftee can get something more to their liking.
For your convenience, we’ve compiled the current shipping and return policies for all the big-name retailers, from Amazon to Walmart. A few of them already have policies in place regarding the holidays, but we’ll be keeping tabs on them and updating our list accordingly. Hopefully, knowing more about how much leeway you have to make a return will help lessen that inevitable holiday angst (fingers crossed).

However, Prime members get free same-day delivery on qualifying orders in qualifying ZIP codes provided they meet the “minimum qualifying dollar threshold” (which varies by location) of eligible items in their cart. One-Day and Two-Day Delivery with no minimum purchase amount required is also available to Prime members for qualifying products. Non-Prime buyers will find shipping options on the order page of each specific product.
Returns: As part of its holiday promotional period, Amazon says most items purchased between November 1st and December 31st can be returned until January 31st, 2026. Apple products, however, must be returned by January 15th, 2026. Note that this policy applies to both Prime and non-Prime buyers.
