Game Recap: D’Angelo Russell’s Career Night Not Enough As Lakers Fall To Cavaliers 125-120

The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the defending NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday night, looking for their 21st win of the season.

Lakers starting shooting guard Nick Young missed the game with the flu, so D’Angelo Russell returned to the starting lineup in his place. He was joined by fellow young Lakers Jordan Clarkson, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle and Ivica Zubac in the starting lineup.

Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue elected to rest his star players Saturday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, but they all returned Sunday night so LeBron James was joined by Kyrie Irving, Iman Shumpert, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson in the starting lineup.
