LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Los Angeles Lakers sent a message to the rest of the NBA this past weekend.
Even though they are far ahead in the Western Conference standings, many had been pointing to their record against the rest of the top teams as a cause for concern in their championship quest. In particular, the Lakers were 0-3 against the other two championship favorites, the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers.
That all changed as the Lakers picked up decisive wins over both, holding each to just 103 points and letting it be known they will be a force in the 2020 NBA playoffs.
