Lakers News: Patrick Beverley Calls Guarding LeBron James ‘Not Hard At All’

The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off their most difficult weekend of the 2019-20 NBA season, taking on both the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Clippers.

However, with LeBron James‘ leadership and stellar defense, the Lakers managed to win both games by a combined 19 points. James sealed the Clippers game by targeting Lou Williams and Patrick Beverley on pick-and-roll switches, scoring 12 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter.

This offensive strategy was pure genius by James. He would make sure either Beverly or Williams switched onto him, then he’d drive to the basket.
