For the first time this preseason the Los Angeles Lakers had their two centerpieces on the court. LeBron James and Anthony Davis saw action in the first half as the Lakers continued their perfect preseason with a 112-107 victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Both Davis and James looked a bit rusty in their season debut, but ultimately had solid nights. Davis finished with 10 points and four rebounds in 18 minutes, while James added 11 points and two assists in 15 minutes as neither played after the second quarter.
Though the two superstars making their return was big news, it was again the Lakers’ pair of young talents that carried them for much of the night.
