Anthony Davis iced the game at the line with 3.8 seconds left up 130-127 and the game was sealed by a late steal by LeBron James as the Los Angeles Lakers won their sixth straight game on Friday night over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In addition to Davis, LeBron James had another excellent night in both scoring and assisting. James finished with 23 points, 14 assists and six rebounds while Davis had a game-high 33 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.
The Lakers led for most of the night in their game against the Thunder, but never where they comfortable. Davis was making plays with the pass and shooting well while James was scoring and assisting in the dominant way he does. But the Thunder stayed with the Lakers all throughout the night.
The Lakers had six players in double figure on the night while the Thunder matched that while also having a host of other scorers in their nine-man unit on Friday. The Lakers also had a great night from the outside as Danny Green, Davis and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope each made four 3-pointers apiece.
The Lakers took care of business on Friday night but as their longest road trip of the season continues, they’ll have to fight through fatigue as they visit Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies tomorrow night in Tennessee.
