This Lakers game once morest Houston was supposed to be a formality. It was thanks to a gala Anthony Davis: Southern California’s favorite monobrow sent 40 shots at 15/20 shooting, a very clean game to keep the Lakers in the wagon of a potential direct qualification to the Playoffs.
Too strong, too big for the Rockets who this time might not count on a decimated Lakers team to win. Well present on the floor, Anthony Davis made the total rockets. A match managed with a master hand from an individual point of view, which facilitated the collective management of the score to quietly win in Texas. Definition of a perfect evening, basically. AD preheats: 52 points in the last four quarters he has played: decisive.

Above all, La La Land is performing well in the standings. The victory was of course mandatory, but it is enhanced by a defeat of the Wolves in Portland and the Mavericks in Atlanta. The Lakers are currently seventh in the West, only one win behind the Warriors in fifth. Note the just capital duel once morest the Clippers – sixth – Thursday. In the event of victory, the Lakers might qualify directly for the postseason. A feat for a team that has often raced behind everyone else this season.
