Anthony Davis and LeBron James are the two superstars on whom the Lakers are completely dependent for their championship ambitions. And they have started tonight’s game exactly like expected and are carrying the offense for the Lakers. And they have added their names to the highlight reel with exceptional coast-to-coast and back-to-back lobs to the rim.

On the face of things, it seems like the teams have avoided playing defense. As both the teams went back and forth in a close game so far. Look at these creative coast-to-coast and back-to-back lobs to kick start the Lakers in the second quarter.

Key takeaways for LeBron James’ Lakers and the Rockets

Coming into tonight’s game, the Lakers are coming off a victory against the Rockets. So they will look to repeat the same confident display from that game. LeBron was looking forward to tonight’s game after their win last time against Houston. He had a weak display from beyond the arc in a few games before tonight’s game. However, he is 2 for 2 so far tonight (100% FG) so that bad run seems to have ended.

The Rockets will look to improve after a disappointing performance. They missed 14 free throws last game in a 10 point loss. And they turned the ball over 28 times. So the Rockets will avoid making the same mistakes as last time.
