Anthony Davis battled through the pain barrier to finish with a game-high 38 points to go with 17 rebounds, 2 blocks, and a steal. He appeared to injure his ankle in the third quarter but stayed in the game and played a big role in getting the win. LeBron James, meanwhile, did not have the best of nights, by his standards, as he ended with 18 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal, but shot just 7-19 from the field.
His poor shooting night was compensated by the fact that the entire Lakers starting five scored in double figures. The Lakers would be hoping for this kind of production from their role players the rest of the way, as they look to climb up the standings. With this win, they improved to 39-38 and are now the seventh seed in the Western Conference.
Isiah Thomas Says None Of The Top Seeds Would Want To Face The Lakers
The Lakers continue to soar after the trade deadline and there’s no doubt they will make some noise in the postseason if they make it in. Draymond Green said they are a serious threat in the Western Conference and Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas went one step further by saying they are the one team nobody wants to face.
He feels there isn’t any team that is looking forward to playing the Lakers and that statement would have seemed absurd just a couple of months back when they seemed like a lost cause. Things have certainly changed now and GM Rob Pelinka deserves a lot of credit for that. They face the Houston Rockets next and a third straight win is very much on the cards.
