Based on the standards he has set for himself in the first five games of the 2018-19 season, DeMar DeRozan may have had an “off” night in the Spurs’ mid-week loss to the Pacers, but he was back to his old tricks on Saturday with LeBron James and the Lakers in town for their second meeting of the season.
After putting up some gaudy numbers in their overtime barn-burner last Monday, he once again posted a double-double against his old Eastern Conference foe with an impressive final stat line of 30 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
