LeBron James was the name on everyone’s lips. 134-131 in overtime, the Lakers have defeated the Wizards on the second night of a back-to-back.
Although Washington is a terrible 9-50, it wasn’t exactly a game to be proud of, but a win is a win, and the Lakers move to 33-28.
With the help of LeBron James‘ 31 points and nine assists and Anthony Davis‘ 40 points and 15 rebounds, LA overcame what was maybe their worst defensive effort of the year to escape humiliation on home court. Currently sitting at 9-3 for the month of February, LA is heating up. Below are some of their top plays :
