Without Damian Lillard, Khris Middleton and Patrick Beverley, manager Doc Rivers regretted risking Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“I wanted to take him out because it seemed to me that his tank was empty, and as a coach you must judge and decide. The decision is up to the doctors, and they told me that he was okay. But I have eyes. I didn’t like how he moved, but he asked to come back. “I should have said no, honestly,” he admitted.
The Lakers, for their part, defeated Washington, 125 to 120.
There were 35 points (19 in the first quarter) and 18 rebounds from Anthony Davis and 25 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists from LeBron James.
In this game, LeBron left his mark on Deni Avdija.
Meanwhile, with 40 points from Devin Booker and 32 from Kevin Durant, Phoenix defeated Cleveland, 122 to 101.
