of lakers 500 team on Friday, but still lost 120-114 to the Kings.in the middle More players unable to playthe bubbling protests outside the stadium, and 4 losing streakLos Angeles found a way to fall apart in the fourth.
Anthony Davis battling illness and making gametime decisions. His nose was bright red, and he clearly showed up at the Crypto.com Arena in bad weather. However, he did not see any significant impact on his game. He started with a great assist for Ronnie Skywalker IV, dove into the stands to steal a pass, and Harrison chased Barnes down his block. The Lakers still had their typical first-quarter shooting slump, but against weaker opponents, they overcame them and were able to get out of the first quarter at age 23.
It’s no secret that the third quarter has been a challenge for Lakeshaw this season, and Friday night was no different. The quarter was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading leads and neither team taking the lead. Midway through the fourth set, the Lakers were able to take a four-point lead when Dearon Fox was on the bench, but they couldn’t extend it. I went in and got one lead.
In the final quarter, Anthony Davis had his final rest, and the Lakers found the combination of Russell Westbrook and Wenen Gabriel connected with several baskets. Wenyen finished the night with his 4/4 off the field and he scored 8 points. Russ mostly ran points, but Reeves was bringing the ball upcourt and making shots for himself. After Anthony Davis returned, it was a one-possession game and remained so until De’Aaron Fox opened the game for the Kings with four minutes left in the game. He finished the night with his 32 and he had 0:32 left in Austin.
look on the bright side
Teams are 2-10. We understand that positivity can seem daunting at this point, but there are a few things Laker Nation should be happy about.
- Anthony Davis is this season’s Iron Man. He dealt with his hip injuries and ailments and played back to back. He showed up and played hard. Sans LeBron, he finished the night with 24 points and two with the Lakers on his back. rebound and 1 assist, a leader this team desperately needs.
- The Lakers are known for finding gems in the draft. No. 27 pick Kyle Kuzma, undrafted Austin Reeves and now Max Christie. The second-round draft pick has been looking good in an uptick in roles lately, and on Friday, Max had seven points and four rebounds. If he continues to play well and earns a rotation spot on this team, it would be another win for the Lakers’ scouting division.
