LeBron James (31 points), Anthony Davis (27) and Austin Reaves (22) lead the way as the Lakers bounce back from a gut-wrenching defeat with a 128-109 win before their six-game trip.
LOS ANGELES — After their last loss, the Lakers knew better than to count wins before the clock ran out.
LeBron James set the pace with 31 points, Anthony Davis helped close in a 27-point, 12-rebound effort, and the Lakers finished off the visiting Portland Trail Blazers in a 128-109 win despite being down two starters. It was the way they should have wrapped up a victory against Indiana two nights before.
If this is the form that the Lakers’ stars are in, it’s encouraging. James was 12 for 18 from the floor with eight assists and seven rebounds. Davis had his eighth straight double-double with 20 or more points, and had critical fourth-quarter baskets after only taking two shots in that frame when they were blowing a 17-point lead on Monday. Russell Westbrook, even though he did not help close out, had 10 points and the team was plus-12 in his 23 minutes.
