Lakers coach D'Antoni resigns

Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni has resigned after less than two seasons on the job.

The team confirmed D'Antoni's resignation Wednesday night.

D'Antoni went 67-87 after taking over the Lakers early in the 2012-13 season.

The injury-plagued Lakers were 27-55, their worst season in more than 50 years. Los Angeles missed the playoffs for only the third time in 38 years.

D'Antoni, 62, had one year left on his contract, but he wanted the Lakers to pick up his option year for 2015-16. The Lakers apparently refused, leading to D'Antoni's resignation.

He walked away from a $4 million payday for next season.

Lakers great Magic Johnson tweeted: "Happy days are here again!"

Spurs 109, Mavs 103 - Tony Parker had 23 points hours after the birth of his first child, and San Antonio took a 3-2 lead in their first-round series with visiting Dallas. Manu Ginobili had 19 points, as the Spurs regained home-court advantage.

Raptors 115, Nets 113 - Kyle Lowry scored a career playoff-high 36 points, including the go-ahead three-pointer after host Toronto had blown a 26-point lead, to take a 3-2 series lead.

Off the bench. Clippers guard Jamal Crawford will receive the sixth man award for the second time, a league official said. Crawford was the Clippers' third-leading scorer.
