The Los Angeles Lakers — among some doubt — remained one of the league’s best and most consistent teams throughout the course of the 2019-20 season. While pundits projected the L.A. Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks and others to finish ahead of the Lakers in the standings and in the playoff picture, the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis proved to be simply too dominant.
During the regular season, L.A. was top five in offensive, defensive and net rating. Two other teams achieved this feat — the Clippers and the Boston Celtics — but neither finished as high as the Lakers in any of those categories.
