The Lakers continue to fuel. In the continuous effort to find themselves, a more visible face begins to come to light. In Los Angeles the new star is Anthony Davis. Despite LeBron’s numbers, historic considering that he is close to turning 39 years oldthe interior, when healthy, is one of the most dominant players of the world.
His physical abilities are from another planet, but he talent Very few in the NBA have it in their hands. Davis finished against Houston with 27 points, 14 rebounds (6 of them offensive) and 5 blocks. But the numbers are the least important. He was key in the victory against Houston (107-97). Let no one forget about him. Sometimes we overlook him, but he has been one of the great superstars of the last decade.
It seems that this year yes. The eternal doubt if he will last healthy The entire season is a chimera for Los Angeles expectations. They depend (and too much) on him and LeBron. ‘The eyebrow’ returns to its most dominating version. Not even Alperen Sengun, who has established himself as one of the best centers in the league (21 points, 13 rebounds last night) was able to continue his pace.
Time to believe the Lakers?
The media pressure in Los Angeles it is a crusher. Any bad result brings you into focus, and bad performances bring you to the fore. Versus one of the toughest teams at homethe Angelenos brought out the best version of several players to take a luxury victory.
LeBron, in his 109th consecutive game with more than 10 points (he finished with 16), he broke schemes after bounce, despite not being accurate from outside (0/4 in the triple). Reaves (18), Reddish (11) or even Christie (12) appeared as important secondary to victory. The Lakers, with this victory, place themselves 12-9in seventh place in the West.
On the visitors’ side, Houston, which is having one of the most complicated schedules, fought until the end. The 22 points from VanVleet and the insufficient contributions of Jabari Smith y Jalen Green They were not what was expected in a completely renewed team. Udoka has given an identity (necessary) to some Rockets wandering through the desert.
