The Lakers get a W over the Spurs to move to 3 wins and 2 loses in the season. The bench provided some firepower in the offensive end today led by Matthews, Kuzma and Harrell. Anthony Davis finally recorded his first blocks of the season. Finally, Lebron celebrated his 36th birthday yesterday as well as recording his 1,000th consecutive game with at least 10 points
Stats for the game: Lebron James led the Lakers with 26 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Wesley Matthews stepped up to the plate and did not disappoint with 18 points in 22 minutes by going 6 for 6 from threes. Anthony Davis finished with 20 points and 8 rebounds. Dennis Schroder had 21 points.
A storyline to pay attention to:
The LA Times released an article titled, "LeBron James celebrates 36th birthday with an NBA milestone and a Lakers win" Here is what Lebron had to say about last nights experience, “I just go out and try to prepare and be the best every night when I step on the floor,” James said. “And if I’m in uniform, I’ve got to do things to help our team win. Scoring, rebounding, defending, assisting, doing the little things and just be available for my teammates throughout the course of the game when I’m on the floor and also on the bench, and I’ve been fortunate enough to do that in my career for the majority of it.”
Next game is Friday January 1st 2021 against the San Antonio Spurs at 5pm pacific time.
