Anthony Davis was the star of the show as finished with 37 points while also hauling in 14 rebounds. Dennis Schroder had 21 points and 6 assists while Austin Reaves struggled from the field but managed to put up 11 points and 9 assists. Lonnie Walker IV provided a much-needed spark from the bench as he had 20 points.
For a while, it looked like the Lakers might suffer another brutal defeat but they managed to stave off a comeback attempt by OKC and dealt a big blow to their playoff hopes. With this win, the Lakers are now tied with the seventh-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves and are very much in with a chance at an automatic playoff berth.
Draymond Green Feels The Lakers Are A Serious Threat In The Western Conference
With this win, the Lakers improved to 10-5 post the All-Star break, and the trades made by GM Rob Pelinka before the deadline has transformed this team. They have gone on this run mostly without LeBron James who has missed the last 13 games and once he gets back, they will be quite a formidable unit.
Draymond Green believes they are a serious threat in the West if they make the playoffs and this win greatly increases their chances of making it in. There have been so many points this season when the Lakers seemed dead and buried, but they have managed to somehow stay afloat and look set for some postseason action.
