The Lakers’ win came from a well-rounded offensive effort, spearheaded by Anthony Davis, who had a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds. With at least 10 rebounds in each of his previous three games, Davis has been on a roll lately. D’Angelo Russell, who finished with 24 points and five assists while going 6 for 8 from outside the arc, also provided assistance to the team. The Lakers lead the NBA in blocks per game—6.9—and they accomplish it without drawing any fouls since their opponents are attempting a league-low 18.7 free throws per game.
