The Lakers this year are a confusing story. They still sit below .500 in the standings with a record of 20-24, but they’ve had performances that give the indication they’re better than their record indicates.
Additionally, the team has missed Anthony Davis for a long stretch, and before he was gone, Davis looked like he was in MVP form, finding ways to win for the team.
Now, they are adapting to a new style of playing. LeBron is in prime form again, and he is dropping numbers that make him look like he’s still playing in his mid-20s.

Ultimately, the Lakers contained Houston, winning 140-132. They were led by LeBron who dropped 48, 8, and 9. He was unstoppable and his dominance carried Los Angeles to the win.
During the game, Rockets rookie found a way to poke fun at LeBron by reminding him how long he’s been in the league for. It’s no secret now that LeBron has been in the league for so long that he’s met some father-son combos, and the same was true for Jabari Smith.
