Going into their game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, teams were scoring 114.5 points per 100 possessions against them.
With both Dennis Schröder (health and safety protocols) and Anthony Davis (Achilles tendinosis, calf strain) sidelined, the Lakers struggled to get their offense going outside of LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma, two of the few players on the roster that are capable of generating their own shot.
As a team, the Lakers shot 6-27 from 3-point range, which couldn’t have contrasted the Nets’ success from 3 much more.
He finished the night with the second-most points on the team, trailing only James Harden, who had 23 points.
