Lakers have to dig deep in closing out depleted Trail Blazers
Anthony Davis and LeBron James had huge nights again, and the Lakers beat Portland 131-122 in Game 5 to advance to the second round as NBA games resumed Saturday.Advertisement
James had a triple-double with 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and Davis had 43 points, nine rebounds and four assists. After the Lakers had won their fourth straight game, James talked about how his team had improved after dropping Game 1. “We got better,” James said during his postgame interview on TNT. “We got better throughout the course of this series. We knew we were coming into a series with a hot Portland team that was playing probably the best basketball inside the bubble along with Phoenix. So we wanted to just come in and just try to work on our game and get better and better as the games went on, as the series went on and I believe we did that.
When the Lakers were just starting to wake up from their pregame naps Wednesday, they were getting knocks on their hotel doors to tell them about an urgent meeting.The Milwaukee Bucks had decided to boycott their game earlier Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. The Bucks were protesting in the wake of Jacob Blake, a Black man, being shot seven times in the back by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wis., which is about 40 minutes south of Milwaukee.
