In the double header against the Spurs, the Lakers initially managed a 105:94 win, which yesterday was replaced by a narrower, but also more spectacular 143:138 win – and what kind of offense was that, please?
It was the duo consisting of Lebron James (39) and Dennis Schröder (21) who scored the most points for Los Angeles. Admittedly, the own defense allowed too much, but that should be much better tonight.
Because to make the purple and gold luck perfect, Anthony Davis will in all likelihood against the Pacers back on the floor. With him, the California basketball gear should now run even better – in both directions.
The upcoming opponent of the Lakers is anything but weak. After the Boston Celtics (9), only the Pacers have won nearly as many games in the Eastern Conference over the last ten NBA game days (8).
While 191 points were scored in the Lakers-Spurs game the day before yesterday, Indiana surprised with a sovereign 128:117 victory over the well-manned Nets – and that thanks to a strong final phase of all things.
Usually it’s Kevin Durand and Kyrie Irving – who also writes “Mr. 4 Quarter” – which are known for a significant increase in performance in the final section. But these ripped off Pacers didn’t let themselves be taken by surprise by the two New York superstars.
