Behind Anthony Davis (44 pts, 10 reb), LeBron James (28 pts, 11 ast, eight reb) and Russell Westbrook (15 points, 11 ast, seven reb), the Lakers beat the Bucks in Darvin Ham’s return to Milwaukee — easily the best win for the Lakers this season.
LeBron James has questions about the disparity of media scrutiny he believes is being applied to a 1957 photo of Jerry Jones and the recent controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving.
Davis scored 44, his most since he scored 46 on Jan. 3, 2020. James followed a scoreless first quarter with 28 over the next three to go with eight rebounds and 11 assists. And Westbrook finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists — all without a turnover.But one play, more than any other, represented hope that there might be a path forward for this group.
“I feel like tonight is the most complementary and the best game with all three of us on the floor together that we’ve played on both sides of the floor. We all felt in a rhythm. We all felt we was making impactful plays throughout the whole game,” James said.After trading for Westbrook, that never really happened, James pointing to limited on-court minutes setting the narrative too early.
The Lakers made 53.6% of their shots — just a hair better than the Bucks’ 53.2% and finished with a plus-two rebounding edge despite a size disadvantage. The Bucks even made six more threes than the Lakers, an edge that the Lakers overcame with excellence in virtually every other facet.
