Games Week 13 (3 games): Mon vs. Cavaliers | Weds vs Magic | Sat at Rockets
Another perfect week by the Lakers who faced a couple of Western foes currently seeded and who could be playoff opponents.
The big win, of course, came facing the Thunder without the services of Anthony Davis, LeBron James or Danny Green and yet they lambasted OKC.
This could be more a matter of the Thunder recovering from an emotional win over the Rockets considering how close the first two games were between the teams. But, if ‘the others’ are going to be that solid without their two superstars that doesn’t bode well for the rest of the league.
Davis missed all three games and there’s no word on a return date. Again, if the club is going to keep winning without him there’s no need to rush his return.
