More good stuff from Max Christie, with a tough end-of-clock 2, then a forced miss of Vassell on the other end, before an extra-pass dish got Knecht a corner 3.
He has 11 points, 3 boards, an assist, a block and a steal and is +16 tonight.
AD isn't used to anybody being able to just tip a ball over his head on the offensive glass, and just chuckled as Wemby did so.
Davis responded by hitting a J over Wemby on the other end, and has 20 points on 11 FGA's to Wemby's 16 on 14 FGA's.
"It's not a matter of if LeBron James will show up... it's a matter of when."
LeBron seals the deal to open up the Lakers #EmiratesNBACup title defense with a W!
The Lakers (8-4) are carrying the longest winning streak in the West (4 games) and third in the NBA (Cleveland, Orlando) going into the 2nd night of a road B2B tomorrow at New Orleans.
It’s super easy to Highlight D’angelo Russell’s very glaring Defensive miscues.
But ever since he got meme-flamed in MEM-
He’s been very engaged Defensively more often than not.
But the same Accounts hyper-focusing on his every miscue prob won’t point that out.
So here ya go:
When LeBron James joined the Lakers, I never thought he would play this long and be this productive.
Sometimes I question myself and think —
is LeBron still in his prime?
He might not be Cavaliers or Miami LeBron at his apex, but he’s STILL putting up prime numbers.
🐐
Anthony Davis says he has just been "letting it fly" from 3 and shooting with confidence.
He also joked that "no one else in here can shoot the basketball like me." 🤣
Lakers had 32 bench points.
By far our best bench production of the season.

JJ Redick says he is "really happy for Max Christie."
He added: "It's obvious to me as his coach that he can do that every night... If you play that way, because I've seen you do it, I don't wanna take you off the court."
D'Angelo Russell ended that 3rd quarter with nothing but pure effort and has the Lakers up at the moment.
Hitting his shots but most importantly, PLAYING DEFENSE. Great help side defense, great close out and then gets the steal.
All JJ asks for from Dlo is effort, and he's giving that right now with a team high +/-
