News from the Lakers: LeBron James Is Not Astonished By Pacers’ 150-145 Victory Because of The NBA’s High Talent Level
On Sunday night, the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers scored 295 points between them. The Lakers won 150-145 in Los Angeles before going on a six-game road trip. Six players in all, including four Lakers, including LeBron James, scored at least 20 points. Since 1987, at the height of the Showtime era, the Lakers have scored 150 points in a game, which is a record.
Anthony Davis led the Lakers with a strong performance that included 36 points and 16 rebounds. Austin Reaves and Spencer Dinwiddie each scored 25 points and 26 points, while James finished with 10 assists. Myles Turner (20) and Pascal Siakam (36) were the Pacers’ top scorers.
As he notes, James gets tired playing in games like Sunday’s even at age 39 and in Year 21, but the greater lesson from 295 points for James is the caliber of skill in the NBA these days.
