The Los Angeles Lakers are in the middle of a recover plan to make it to the playoffs. However, with regular performances and losinggames that are close to be wins, eventually could cost them their spot. As expected, after every loss, all the lights are on Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
With31.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.6 assistsin average in the last five games, Anthony Davis has delivered way more than expected for the Lakers. However, there are ‘Clutch’ situations in which he has let their team down. That’s why the criticism hasn’t stopped, even with a huge winning streak.
For LeBron James the story is different, in his 20th season, James has averaged 26.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 20 games this season. Despite he hasn’t played every single game, he still makes the difference every time he steps on the court. This time, he did it off the court for his teammate.
