A comfortable 134-110 victory for the Los Angeles Lakers over the Portland Trail Blazers after another great game by D'Angelo Russell, who has been playing at a high level in recent weeks.
The Los Angeles team, which thanks to this victory returns to fifty percent of wins (22-22), was led by the shooting guard, who finished the duel with 34 points after scoring 14 of the 21 shots he attempted from the field, including 6 three-pointers. LeBron James finished with 28 points and Anthony Davis with a double-double of 14 points and 14 rebounds.
Darvin Ham's offensive quintet seems to work better and it is easier for the team to win with Russell, Reaves or Hachimura starting than with Vanderbilt or Reddish.
The Lakers are currently ninth in the Western Conference, tied with the Jazz and three games behind the sixth-place Dallas Mavericks for direct playoff berth.
