They ain't out of the woods - oh no, this team is deep, deep in the trees - but for a night at least, the Lakers put on a show and actually provided fans a rare happy outcome. A 124-116 win at the Crypt over the Golden State Warriors, let by 56 points from LeBron James. 56 points! Not a lot of dudes dropping those kinds of numbers at age 37. And it's a reminder that what we're seeing from James this year, even in the context of the type of relative decline that demands a better supporting cast around him, is pretty damn incredible. On a night where Russell Westbrook remained a dominant topic of conversation on the national TV broadcast and in news outlets heading into the game, Russ responded with a solid game. Carmelo Anthony kicked in. Malik Monk hit some key shots. Austin Reaves may have been the team's best player defensively. LA gains a little space on Portland and San Antonio, the teams chasing them for that final spot in the play-in tournament (not worrying about New Orleans right now...). All in all, a very satisfying night! HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
