The Lakers they faced it spurs in a fight with logical and expected victory of the angels (113-104) but this had some interesting edges. On the one hand, the return of Anthony Davis and on the other hand, the Rui Hachimura’s debutafter his arrival from the Magi.
Davis has not seen action since in mid-December due to an injury to his right leg and not only did he come back in a good way, but he was immediately the top scorer for his team: he finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds in just 26:11 minutesleaving the bank for a matter of rotation and taking care of his return.
It’s worth remembering that discounting a few games he left early due to injury, AD averaged no less than 34.8 points in 11 games prior to this extended absence, so it will be interesting to see if he regains that hellish level he brought. The first against San Antonio was a very good sign.
On the other hand, it was also positive Premiere of Rui Hachimurawho went from low to high and after missing his first few pitches, ended up wrapping up a good performance: 12 points, 6 rebounds, 4-7 from the field and 1-3 from three in 22 minutes.
Regarding Ham’s rotation, it’s worth noting that the one who seems to have lost his spot with the revenue of Davis and Hachimura is Venien Gabrielwho practically he didn’t see the field against the Spurs, after averaging above 22 minutes in the previous 7 games.
In addition to the names listed, LeBron James was on the verge of a triple-double for homersfinishing with 20 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds in 35 minutes on the second night of a back to backafter Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers.
Keldon Johnson was the leading scorer for the Spurs with 25 points.
