The top-seeded Lakers were up on their toes as they grabbed a massive victory over Trail Blazers last night. The entire team was pumped up in contrast to Blazers’ low-energy performance. LeBron James and Anthony Davis led the team to a 111-88 win that led to a series even at one each.
We all know how dominating and aggressive LeBron James can be on the court especially when he unleashes his playoff mode. But he is equally charged from the bench while watching the game. The energy never drains off his body it seems.

The Lakers were leading by 30 points by the end of the third quarter last night. LeBron’s job was done and he sat outside after adding 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists to the game. But he was completely part of the game from off the court.
The referees gave a wrong possession to Blazers at one point and LeBron was screaming his lungs out from the bench itself. The chant continuously went on, “It’s our ball!”.

LeBron doesn’t know the word ‘chill’ when it comes to the postseason. It’s just game-time for him and that’s evident. He is always on the run especially when it comes to such high-intensity matchups.
How does one expect LeBron to be calm? Moreover, this match was a matter of making a comeback after an embarrassing loss in Game 1. The King will definitely be on his most aggressive side.
Anthony Davis was the man of the show bagging 31 points and 11 rebounds in Game 2. He was shooting 13-of-21 from the field in comparison to 8-of-24 in the first game.
The top team finally looked in control, rather in great form this time. The question is how long can they maintain that.
Blazers trailed from start to end of the match and the score gap kept expanding. Moreover, it was bad news for Blazers when their star player, Damian Lillard dislocated his index finger in the third quarter. He sat out the rest of the match and his return to the next playoff game seems unlikely.
The series is now 1-1 between Blazers and Lakers as they head for Game 3. Who will make it to the top?
