With LeBron James back on the court for the Lakers, Anthony Davis reverts to his bad habit of being a bit player in the Lakers' loss to the Chicago Bulls.
With Davis limited to 15 points, little wonder the Lakers were down by 21 in the fourth quarter.LeBron James comes off the bench for the second time in his career in his return to play, but the Lakers fall 118-108 to Chicago on Sunday afternoon.
News of James’ return was sprung on Lakers players just hours before the midday contest — Davis said he learned of the possibility “when they said he was gonna warm up and see how it feels” — but that’s no excuse. “They’re a pack-the-paint team, so even on a pick-and-roll and we’re rolling, the pocket is not there. They have five guys in the paint.”
“Maybe a few of those turnovers could have been field-goal attempts if we secure and take care of the ball,” Ham said.Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. reacts after making a three-point basket in front of Lakers forward Anthony Davis in the second half Sunday.
