The Lakers won without LeBron James
It wasn't always pretty, but given how they've looked without him this season, you have to take this win.

Show Notes
Anthony details the specific circumstances that led to the Lakers performing even without LeBron James. Yes, it was a shorthanded and bad Trail Blazers team, but the Lakers did enough to win. Anthony Davis bullied Deandre Ayton and their small frontcourt. D'Angelo Russell picked up the creative responsibilities and came through. Austin Reaves is getting used to his role off the bench. Cam Reddish continued his steady play. Quietly, Darvin Ham put Rui Hachimura on Portland's best player (Jerami Grant) and he fared quite well. Taurean Prince did little things while his shot wasn't falling.
