Led Finally healthy Anthony Davis And One last Absolutely Healthy LeBron James, தி Lockers He came out with a double-digit lead over James Horton and Shorthand Brooklyn nets Looking no further, it eventually won 106-96 and advanced to 24-24 this season.

James looked just as good as he had throughout the year – it says something – with a team-high of 33 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, giving the Lakers-friendly Brooklyn crowd all night highlights. The 37-year-old continued to shed incredible tears as LeBron highlighted his 18th straight game in the Lakers score.

Dec. In the first game he recovered from an MCL sprain on the 17th, Davis immediately felt his presence, falling down an alley-op from LeBron and hitting his first jumper off the field for the Lakers’ first four points. He made an even bigger initial impact at the defensive end, adding three volumes in the first seven minutes of the game. Russell Westbrook looked exactly like the Lakers expected last July as some of the best off-ball cuts of the season resulted in a 15-point performance for Russell.

Davis finished with 8 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 4 blocks in 25 minutes, while Westbrook added 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

When the Nets got back into the game in the third quarter behind Horton and Patty Mills – and with four errors on the bench with Davis – James took the lead 13-4 with back-to-back isolated jumpers. Malik Monk 3-pointer and Westbrook and a vintage James pocket pass.

Then They are constantly struggling to sustain their efforts In the midst of an ever-changing lineup this season – and usually with James or Davis sidelined – the Lakers are out excitedly behind their two best superstars. Monk had one of the strongest performances of the season, finishing with 22 points in a white-shot 6-12. Night shooting from a three point range. Carmelo Anthony added 13 points to the bench. Austin Reeves had only 2 points, but scored 5 of the Lakers’ 6 total offensive rebounds and added 6 Helps with a fantastic, buzz-centric performance.

But most importantly, the Lakers significantly boosted their potential in defense. With the exception of Horton’s 33 points, Grandma Mills only reached double digits with 15 points. LA lived up to Horton’s superstar’s scoring output and focused on neutralizing any help he could get from his teammates.

That approach was crucial in the fourth quarter because the Lockers were able to comfortably lead the way when filming was cool to begin the period – and were able to extend it even in The King’s back-to-back vintage breakaway tanks in one of the LeBronces. Unforgettable scenes of the season.

It’s only a game, but it’s very encouraging to see that they are comfortable all season against the Lakers, and many expect them to finally make it to the NBA Finals (at least during the preseason). Although Brooklyn missed two of the two superstars with Kevin Durand due to his knee sprain, Kyrie Irving was only able to play in the road games due to a violation of New York City’s vaccination order for the Barclays Center. One more good win for LA

Role players do not always shoot this well, but as James, Davis and Westbrook move forward, if it is more comfortable to play alongside each other, there may be reason for optimism when the team is ready for the Lakers fans to play with confidence. To save one of their most frustrating seasons in recent memory.

After a one-day vacation on Wednesday, they will face another tough road opponent on Thursday as they head south into the Azela Corridor with Joel Empide and the Philadelphia 76ers. The game also has an early, 4:30 pm PT tip-off time, and will air nationally on TNT.
