Things were going so well.
The Los Angeles Lakers were leading the Western Conference and looked strong contenders to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. LeBron James was playing some of the best basketball of his career whilst showing all the haters that the King ain’t dead.
Anthony Davis was having an equally excellent season and was showing the NBA world that he was worth the sizeable ransom the Lakers parted ways with for him.
The supporting cast was also beginning to find their own feet together. Players such as Alex Caruso, KCP, Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard and Danny Green were all starting to find their role within the team and maximizing their usage on the floor.
