The Lakers beat the Clippers 103-106 last Sunday, thus achieving their first victory of 2024 and breaking a negative streak of four losses. In a game with a great contribution from the entire group, both in attack and defense, LeBron James and Anthony Davis especially stood out.
LeBron had 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and made one of the most spectacular plays of the night with an impressive dunk.
Davis, for his part, finished the game with 22 points, 10 rebounds and three steals. Anthony Davis was a fundamental pillar in the Lakers’ defense. Other players like Taurean Prince (13 points with 3 of 6 shooting from three), D’Angelo Russell, who returned after missing three games due to injury with 13 points and six assists, or Christian Wood (9 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks ) were also vital to achieving the victory, appearing and contributing at key moments of the match.
The Lakers still have aspects to polish and some details of the game in which they must be more attentive. However, in this game they played solid defense to contain a Clippers team that has been very good offensively, limiting them to just 103 points and 39.6% shooting from the field. And then, on the other end, despite having several turnovers, they found a way to get necessary baskets in decisive moments.
The Lakers will play two more games at Crypto.com Arena before traveling to Utah on Saturday to close out the week. Tonight they will host the Toronto Raptors at 7:30 p.m. PT, and on Thursday they will face the Phoenix Suns at 7:00 p.m. PT. For their part, the Toronto Raptors come into tonight’s clash after defeating the Golden State Warriors at their home last Sunday by 133 to 118.
The Lakers will seek to continue the positive momentum from Sunday to achieve their second victory of the year in front of their fans.
