Welcome to the daily Laker, a Los Angeles Lakers fan podcast, today is Saturday December 19th, 2020. This podcast is brought to you by brownlab media and brownlabmedia.com
The Lakers won last nights game against the Phoenix Suns 114 to 113, finishing out the preseason undefeated.
Stats for the game: Anthony Davis led the game with 35 points, Lebron finished with 20 points and 8 rebounds, KCP had 15 points.
Highlights of the game: The Lakers started off slow in the first half but ramped it up in the 3rd quarter to make it a competitive game. Lebron and AD both played more minutes and they look ready for the start of the season. Now the question is how much load management will they require throughout the season, especially during back to back games.
A storyline to pay attention to:
We got an article from ESPN titled, “NBA GMs pick Los Angeles Lakers to defend championship in survey”. In this survey done annually by NBA.com, the Lakers were picked to defend their title with 81% of the vote, the Clippers came behind with 11%. AD and Lebron got 18% of the vote for winning the league MVP award behind Giannis at 32% and Luka at 21%. Lebron also won the GM's vote as the best player at the small forward position with 57%.
Next Laker game is Tuesday December the 22nd against the Los Angeles Clippers at 7pm pacific time.
