CLEVELAND —
This is still LeBron James’ city, the fans in Cleveland still wearing his jerseys and cheering his name even though he no longer plays for their team.
But Friday with the Lakers beginning a four-game road trip, it wasn’t James making the biggest plays or hitting the biggest shots. Moreso than it’s been on any other night this season, James had plenty of help.
Led by Anthony Davis, seven different Lakers scored in double figures as they out-dueled the Cavaliers in a 121-115 shootout.
Davis scored 32, James added 22 and Austin Reaves had 15 points and 10 assists as the Lakers got their third-straight road win after losing the first five games.
