Lakers win and the big 3 have some good numbers, but still the Pistons (the worst team in the NBA right now) were able to put the score to as close as 1 point and they almost handed the Lakers an L.
Bogdanovic was sensational with the series of 3s he had midway in the 3rd quarter and that gave the team a momentum boost to put the score closer.
Now, I have doubts again for the Lakers whether or not they're gonna make it to the playoffs, as they even struggling to earn a spot in the play-in tournament. Though it's kinda early and we're seeing a very slight progress, but as a Laker and LeBron fan, I'm still hoping they'll figure it out.
Very big day for Bojan Bogdanović while their stars are resting. That is the prime Bojan that we knew in Utah Jazz, he will punished those who are not defending him well either outside or inside offensive plays.
About the Lakers, my doubts will always be the "what if AD is out?" question.
Unlike teams like the Cavaliers for example, even without Mitchell (+5), they win games against an average team like Thunder (11-15 record).
Strength without stars, the Lakers' 2nd unit should keep on improving, soon they will be badly needed especially with this season filled with back-to-back games.
The Nets are now number 4 in the East. Just like that. Another example of a strong 2nd unit that beat the Pacers yesterday without Kyrie, KD, and Ben.
Bogdan Bogdanovic also just had a great game after he came back from injury. And Bojan Bogdanovic just had something similar. It is amusing.
I think everyone shares the doubt about AD. Every Lakers fan and organization workers must be praying for his health.
And Nets were also very impressive. I found their performance amazing without their stars. It was actually even better than some of their performance with KD and Kyrie.
