Lakers don't miss LeBron James as they sweep Utah with Davis, Hachimura, DLo at top level

The Los Angeles Lakers won convincingly at home against the Utah Jazz, who were very hurt after the trade deadline and ended up losing 138-122 at home despite the absence of LeBron James due to rest.

After all the controversy generated by the Warriors and the Sixers' attempt to sign him, the '23' Angelino decided to take a day off before All-Star Weekend and his team did not miss him. Anthony Davis destroyed the Jazz paint and finished the duel with 37 points (13 of 25 from the field) and 15 rebounds. Rui Hachimura had one of those days when everything went his way and finished with 36 points (career-high).

Austin Reaves contributed 22 points and D'Angelo Russell made magic, almost reaching the triple-double with 11 points, 9 rebounds and 17 assists. Since he has raised the level, the Lakers have been winning and showing better sensations. It is clear that when DLo is working the Lakers are more reliable. They will depend on him to go far in the playoffs.

In the Jazz, little to say, the departure of several important players within the internal dynamics of the team has broken the locker room causing a drop in play and results in recent weeks. Yesterday the best player was Collin Sexton with 18 points. It smells of dismantling the project in summer with Lauri Markkanen as the crown jewel for the next NBA market.
