For the Los Angeles Lakers lately, it hasn’t been a matter of losing, but more so the lack of fight and effort that has been evident in these defeats. Against the Atlanta Hawks, however, that wasn’t the case as Anthony Davis and LeBron James led a spirited effort, but it still didn’t end in a Lakers victory.
Davis finished with 38 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists and two blocks while LeBron posted a 39-point triple-double, but the Lakers fell in overtime by two points. Trae Young hit the game-winning 3-pointer after a Lakers’ defensive miscommunication left him wide open and he made them pay.
