The energy between Westbrook and LeBron today is very good. Westbrook is making great assists, both to LeBron and AD. Lonnie Walker also contributed significant points by scoring a good percentage. The lack of experience and leading players is evident in Detroit. Bojan Bogdanovic alone carries the team on his back. Jaden Ivey is willing but can't get play the balls right. Despite all this, the difference is still very close. There is no Cunningham, but it wouldn't have changed much had he been. Detroit is holding up well, but the Lakers haven't lost much of the lead. Antony Davis still find easy buckets.
There have been huge significant improvements to Westbrook performance since he's been coming off the bench to compared to when he was in the starting lineup, while Anthony Davis have been Lakers most consistent player this season, I just hope he stays healthy enough down the stretch because it will only get tougher as the regular season start approaching its end every team is trying to secure a slot in the post season, Lebron is known to be conditioning very well and he is usually available down the stretch, but he'll be needing all the help and supports he can get from Anthony Davis, because If Anthony Davis isn't going to be available, I doubt Lakers would be able to clinch a spot in the play-in tournament let alone a spot in the top seed.
