A lively start wasn’t enough in a 114-100 loss to the streaking Cavaliers as LeBron James’ shooting shows the effects of a stomach bug.
“Just didn’t come out ready,” Westbrook said. “They came out well prepared in the third. And we was playing catch-up from then on.”
The Lakers wound up being out-rebounded and lost the turnover battle . Ham put in his Big Three early in the fourth quarter to close a double-digit lead, but that lineup never closed the gap closer than 11 points. Westbrook and Davis looked dominant in the first half to pick up the slack. Westbrook made his first five attempts and thrilled the crowd again with hustle plays, like a stolen inbounds pass that he dished to Davis. Davis also had 17 points in the first two quarters, dominating Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley as the Lakers led at the break.
Davis wound up not speaking to the media on Sunday afternoon, while Ham put at least some of the onus on his big man to step up later in games.
