The Lakers, playing with undersized centers and no Anthony Davis, have another tough defensive assignment Tuesday when facing Bol Bol and the Orlando Magic.
For the second time in three games, LeBron James used part of his time at the postgame podium to point out the obvious —
Since Davis’ injury, the Lakers have been the worst defensive team in the NBA, giving up 125.8 points per 100 possessions in the five games he’s missed.Dallas outscored the Lakers 51-21 in the third quarter to blow open a close game Sunday, when LeBron James passed Kobe Bryant for most Christmas appearances.
“The last four or five games, we’ve given up 120 points, plus. Ah, it’s tough to win in this league if you’re giving up that many points. We’re scoring a ton of points, though. It’s a positive, but we’re giving up a ton too.” With no Davis, coach Darvin Ham has been willing to try seemingly everything, even playing a lineup with five guards where 6-5 Austin Reaves and the 6-3 Westbrook were the tallest Lakers on the court.
