Command Analysis
LA Lakers
USACurrent form
The universe of basketball shook again from the sound of sneakers on the parquet floor. The Lakers are confidently marching through the California sky, winning three of their last four games. In their last fight, on April 1, they tamed Houston by extinguishing his burning fuse – 104:98. And although the opening quarter was not in their favor, they then took the initiative into their own hands, leaving no chance for the opponent.
Luka Doncic was especially diligent, who just missed out on a triple-double (20 points, six rebounds, nine assists), and Dorian Finney-Smith and Gabe Vincent joined him, both scoring 20 points apiece. LeBron James, with his usual regal equanimity, added 16, and Austin Reeves added 12. Now J.J. Redick's squad (46 wins, 29 losses) firmly holds the third place in the Western Conference.
