The Los Angeles Lakers have won back-to-back games during their previous two games, which has been fantastic.
The fact that the Lakers played them without a break makes the victory even more remarkable for the group.
The Lakers received criticism for their performance against the Washington Wizards, despite being applauded for their incredible comeback against the Los Angeles Clippers in their opening game.
The game went into overtime, and the Lakers emerged victorious 134-131 against the Eastern Conference’s 15th seed.
Regarding the overtime victory, Chris Canty chastised the Lakers on Unsportsmanlike Radio on Twitter for letting the Wizards force them into overtime.
Canty remarked, “I don’t care that it’s the second night of a back-to-back; overtime shouldn’t be necessary, especially after Anthony Davis played like he did last night.”
Several experts, notably Chris Canty, criticized the Lakers for their performance, but fans were happy with the team’s victory regardless of the means.
Canty noted that the Lakers ought to have defeated the Wizards with ease.
Ultimately, LeBron James and Anthony Davis both had incredible performances in their own right.
In the Lakers’ 134-131 victory, James scored 31 points, pulled down 4 rebounds, and disheveled 4 assists, while Davis added 40 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists.
To be honest, if the game hadn’t come right after a fierce contest against the Los Angeles Clippers the night before, the Lakers may have easily defeated the Wizards.
In the end, the Lakers are in a far better position now than they were a few weeks ago.
They are only 1.5 games behind the eighth spot in the Western Conference, where they are ranked as the ninth seed.
