The final score was 117-115. Therefore, the Lakers had a good chance to win. However, the game slipped from them in the final minutes of the last quarter. Losses like these are always hard to take in. The Lakers played like an actual team today, a sight that fans are seeing after a long time.

Everyone on the team was taking care of the ball and trying to contribute as much as they could. Additionally, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook also had good performances today. The superstar trio are finally getting a synergy among themselves. This was not one of their best performances this season, however, this performance shows that these three stars can play with each other.

If the Lakers build on this chemistry, there is nothing they cannot achieve. Half the season is almost over, however, they still have enough time to buck up and make a playoff run.
