LA Lakers Win Despite Weakness

February 24, 2020

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a difficult time during yesterday’s game despite their win.

Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics, who scored 41 points against the Lakers on Sunday gave the Lakers a run for their money. Despite Boston’s young star outscoring both Anthony Davis (32 points) and LeBron James (29), the Lakers barely survived with a 114-112 win.

James posted a photo on Instagram after the victory, praising Tatum: “That boi … is an ABSOLUTE PROBLEM!!”

Initially at the trade deadline, the team pursued Marcus Morris, a strong forward who was putting up career numbers for the New York Knicks. Instead, he ended up on the Clippers via trade. In an odd turn of events, the Detroit Pistons bought out the contract of Markieff Morris, Marcus’ twin brother. On Sunday afternoon, Markieff cleared waivers to sign with the Lakers..

James may be the Lakers’ best answer against Tatum. And in a more general sense, he may be the team’s best defender against the powerful forwards who have troubled Los Angeles for much of the year.
