Los Angeles Lakerschoosing the most opportune moment to display a resounding demonstration in a match with epic overtones, surpassing the Milwaukee Bucks sin LeBron Jamesafter two extensions and at home (124-128). Those in purple and gold trailed by 19 with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Authoritarian Anthony Davis with 34 points and 23 rebounds playing a whopping 52 minutes in such an endless match, D’Angelo Russell He led the Los Angeles team with 29 points and 12 assists in 50, while the LeBron substitute that the team needed Darwin Ham Faced with such a challenge, it could not be other than Austin Reaves.
Right eye of The King for the special connection between the two and the guard’s high basketball IQ that Bron appreciates so much, Reaves shot to a triple-double of 29 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in 47 minutes.
With the playoffs just around the corner, LeBron’s favorite presented his credentials to be an seconds with a triple in the second overtime. Two free throws from Russell after two missed ones by Anteto and another two from Davis resolved the game for those in purple and gold.
The Bucks left empty despite the numerous triple-double of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 29 points, 21 rebounds and 11 assists in 46 minutes, curiously registering the worst plus-minus of the team with a -13. The Greek thus completed a fateful day after Greece’s failure to qualify for the European Football Championship after the defeat on penalties against Georgia.
Damian Lillard He reached 27 points, although, unlike the Greek -with 14/25 in shots-, his efficiency left much to be desired with 9/29 in field goals. Bobby Portis He contributed 18 points and 13 sacks but his non-negotiable character could not counteract that of the Lakers, who are gaining autonomy without LeBron who chose to rest to take care of the battered ankle that has been bothering him all season.
In his absence, Rui Hachimura He also offered himself as a potential playoff X-factor with 16 points and 14 rebounds. Although nothing and no one guarantees the Lakers the playoffs in the crazy West – ninth with 40-32 -, LeBron knows that he is in good hands even when he is not there.
