Russell Westbrook was talking to the reporters when he was asked by one of them, “Is there an identity that can be found with the second unit with you playing that way?” To which Russell replied, “It honestly don’t matter what unit it is. I know my abilities to make guys better around me.” Westbrook made sure they didn’t let loose and give up the game when the Lakers bench was on the court.

Without legend LeBron James in the ranks, the LA Lakers have stood up and led the way in all the recent matches they played. Anthony Davis led the charge and gave dominating performances on the court. The Lakers team looked revamped, and if they pocket a few more wins, they can quickly get their campaign back on track and go in search of their 18th NBA championship title.
