Even without LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers have managed to snap a five-game losing streak and win two contests in a row.
They did so by dispatching the Detroit Pistons, one of the few teams with a worse record than them, on Friday night, 128-121.
This game saw the regular season debuts of guard Dennis Schroder and center Thomas Bryant. Bryant didn’t disappoint, as he contributed eight points, five rebounds and one blocked shot in 13 minutes.
But the biggest star of the night was Anthony Davis, who had another monster performance with 38 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks.
Here are the biggest and most exciting highlights of this victory.
