There was no holiday hangover for the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night as they took care of a frisky, but undersized Washington Wizards team for their 10th straight win to help them move to an NBA-best 17-2 record, 125-103.
James and Davis didn’t even need to play in the fourth quarter of Friday night’s game, with LeBron racking up 23 points and 11 assists while AD had game-high 26 points to go with 13 rebounds on the evening. It was another night where the Lakers offense seemed to be unstoppable, as they have been over the last few weeks. They hit 14 3-pointers on Friday as they seem to be hitting their stride on the offensive end.
With the Lakers win, they kept pace with Milwaukee for the longest active streak in the NBA. But holding onto it could be difficult as they are going into a Western Conference road trip next week. The Lakers have one more home game against a strong Dallas squad on Sunday before heading out on what should be a tough three-game trip against Denver, Utah and Portland.
