And three! In ten days, the Lakers faced the Kings three times. Each time, they managed to win. The latest victory was even signed without LeBron James, who was ill. To compensate, Los Angeles gave the keys to Austin Reaves and his collective.
“I think we’re making progress. We can see that things are progressing in the group”, noted the player who finished with 26 points and above all 16 assists, his new career record.
Anthony Davis also had a big game, with 36 points on 75% shooting, 15 rebounds and 8 assists. The two players therefore compiled 24 of the Lakers' 33 assists, a season record equaled for JJ Redick's troops.
“Playing together, attacking well, with players who move, cut, create screens… That’s what we’re supposed to do”notes the All-Star interior. “The ball moved, the attack was good. We played for each other. »
This therefore gives 33 assists on 46 baskets, 132 points scored and very high percentages, the best of the season for the Californians: 60% on the shoot and 54% on 3-pts, against a Sacramento team in full crisis and which was living his first game since Mike Brown was fired.
“Guys want to pass. We insisted on this before the meeting, and over the last seven or ten days”explains the Lakers coach. “This sport can be simple with complex ideas, but you want to run, pass and make screens. We really emphasize this point. »
