With the playoffs and the Play-In Tournament right around the corner, the Los Angeles Lakers need to keep their eyes on the prize. They have a chance to make a serious postseason push thanks to their plethora of trade deadline moves, and they should not waste said chance.
On Friday night, they took down a short-handed Phoenix Suns team in a crucial game in regard to the Western Conference standings. After the game, Anthony Davis praised D’Angelo Russell and the other Lakers shooters for their floor-spacing against Phoenix.
“We’re not going to always shoot the ball well,” Davis said via the NBA Interviews YouTube channel. “Bron struggled tonight, I struggled tonight shooting the ball. But we have a complete team. Beas [Michael Beasley] shot the ball pretty well. D-LO, Troy [Brown Jr.], [and] Austin [Reaves]. The depth on our team is really strong where Bron has 16, I had 14, and we were still able to get a very convincing win.
