The Los Angeles Lakers got an important win against the Toronto Raptors; this time, their "hero" wasn't Anthony Davis but D'Angelo Russell. The Lakers big man stepped back to get other players more minutes on the court.

Even when the game wasn't easy, as the Raptors had great accuracy on 3-pointers in the first quarter, the Lakers got the win thanks to their team effort and Anthony Davis' selfless night.

D'Angelo Russell took notice of AD's actions and spoke about it, recognizing what the superstar did on taking a back seat and letting guys like Wenyen, Rui, and Vando play more: "I just want to give AD his flowers."

The Lakers seem like a real team now and seem to be united

Every teammate spokes highly of the other players, something that didn't happen before the trade, the energy is different, and the team looks to be having fun on and off the court with each other. Troy Brown Jr. wrote on his Twitter after the win: "DLO BACKKK," which proves how united this version of the team is.
