The Los Angeles Lakers continued their road trip with a primetime matchup against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night, although they were once again short-handed without LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kyle Kuzma, Marc Gasol and Wesley Matthews.
That didn’t seem to matter though, as the Lakers put together one of their best performances of the season to earn a convincing 126-101 victory.
The Lakers came out playing inspiring basketball against Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Nets in Brooklyn, jumping out to an early 18-7 lead. Talen Horton-Tucker, Dennis Schroder and Markief Morris all knocked down 3-pointers, while Andre Drummond picked up five early points to force the Nets to call timeout.
