The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the San Antonio Spurs for their most recent matchup. And the Lakers had a good chance of improving their overall record which stood at 4-10 before tonight’s game. And the Lakers blew out the Spurs, with the team’s superstar LeBron James on the sidelines, absolutely hyped at his teammates’ performance on the floor. 

James suffered an injury while playing against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 9 and hasn’t played since then. However, the Lakers were on a two-game winning streak and hoped to increase it to three.

Even though James wasn’t playing for the Lakers, he seemed to be having the time of his life as his teammates arguably manhandled the Spurs on the court, especially the team’s backup center, Thomas Bryant. 

With less than five minutes left in the second quarter, the Lakers had a healthy 11-point lead over the Spurs. But clearly, that wasn’t enough when Austin Reaves dropped a pass to Thomas Bryant in the post.

And Bryant decided to electrify the crowd and the Lakers bench by posterizing Gorgui Dieng and throwing down a left-handed slam on him. The crowd came to life with Bryant’s jam and so did LeBron James as he was visibly hyped for his team from the sidelines.

The Los Angeles Lakers eventually took down the San Antonio Spurs by a huge margin, 123-92. Anthony Davis was the team’s leading scorer with 30 points and had 18 rebounds to go along with it.

Seven Lakers players scored in double digits. Russell Westbrook finished the night with a double-double. And even Thomas Bryant almost ended the game with a double-double. He scored 15 points and had 9 rebounds, going 5-5 from the field. 

The Lakers held their ground without LeBron

The Lakers have heavily relied on James for the team’s scoring so far this season. And when James has not played in the past, the team struggled for the majority of the time. However, this time things seemed to be different. 

With a healthy Anthony Davis in the lineup, he has taken over the scoring load becoming the team’s first option on offense. Even Russell Westbrook has looked out for the team’s betterment by going to the bench and leading the team’s second unit on the floor.
