The Lakers were shorthanded vs. the Cavs, and got the win, still, there was better news

Following the news of the Lakers injury players being out now to four of their main rotation, the fans were skeptical that the team could get the victory with a limited 8-man rotation.

For the second straight game, coach Darvin Ham had to use Max Christie to keep Austin Reaves with a coming-off-the-bench role, and replace Cam Reddish who is now missing his third straight games.

The Lakers start their road trip off right, winning 121-115 in CLE to improve to 10-7. AD 32p 13r 3b 2s; LeBron 22p on 8-of-23 (1-of-9 3s) 6r 6a 2s 2b; Reaves 15p 10a 2s; Woody Hayes combine for 23p on 10-of-12 shooting. Next up: PHI on Monday.

The best news out of this win is that the Los Angeles Lakers despite not having their complete roster were able to give enough help to Anthony Davis and LeBron James to get the win and not make them carry the entire team by themselves.

Anthony Davis is finally back with a monster performance

Following Wednesday's disappointing performance, tonight was due to a great game by the Lakers superstar Anthony Davis and he didn't disappoint.
