The Los Angeles Lakers saw the return of Cam Reddish with the team, but the forward didn't return to the starting lineup even when Taurean Prince was out due to an injury that prevented him from playing tonight against Portland.

The Lakers fans have been wanting coach Darvin Ham to use the starting lineup that helped last season to turn things around and make it their own. But Ham has refused to use it as tonight was proof of it, the team got an impressive win without her.

The Lakers beat the Blazers, 134-110, to get back to .500 at 22-22. D-Lo 34p on 14-of-21 (6-of-11 3s) 8a 2b; LeBron 28p 5r 5a; AD 14p 14r 3a; Reaves 15p 4r; Reddish 10p 2s; C-Wood 4p 6r 4b 2s. Two games in L.A. this week (LAC - Tues, CHI - Thurs) before a six-game roadie.

LeBron James also had an impressive night by scoring 28 points with 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Anthony Davis scored 14 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 assists. Austin Reaves scored 15 points with 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

D'Angelo Russell continues to be solid for the Lakers

Ever since coach Darvin Ham returned D'Angelo Russell to the starting lineup the team has been looking solid and the PG has been the third-best player of the team just behind AD and LeBron.
