Los Angeles Lakers defeated Indiana Pacers by 150-145 in a duel in which defenses were conspicuous by their absence and that the Los Angeles Lakers were able to take to their field with great performances by Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
La Ceja finished the game with 36 points (15-of-21 shooting from the field) and 16 rebounds. LeBron had 26 points and 10 assists. Spencer Dinwiddie finished with 26 and Austin Reaves had 25. A lot of easy scoring that the Pacers ended up paying for.
In Indiana, Tyrese Haliburton still has not returned to the level of the beginning of the season and finished the duel with 12 points and 10 assists. Pascal Siakam was the best by far with 36 points and 12 rebounds. Miles Turner contributed 20 units. It was not enough.
This victory leaves the Los Angeles Lakers ninth with a 2.5 game lead over the Golden State Warriors. However, they are still far from the option to avoid the bad part of the play-in (also 2.5 games behind Kings and Mavs). The Pacers, meanwhile, are sixth in the East with 1.5 games ahead of the Heat and Sixers.
