Without both Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma in Tuesday night’s game against a strong Indiana Pacers squad on Tuesday, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers found themselves quite a battle in Indianapolis.
James was spectacular in the first half, leading the way for his team with 13 points, seven rebounds and six assists to help them to a 52-50 lead at halftime. However, none of the plays that were made in the first half by James or anybody else at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse was better than a beautiful reverse dunk after catching a lob pass from point guard Rajon Rondo.
LeBron and Rondo have both talked about being on the same wavelength from a basketball IQ perspective. While that partnership didn’t play out as well as it sounded last year, sometimes we see the connection like we did on this play above.
Rondo himself is doing a good job with seven points and four rebounds off the bench, providing a little scoring since the Lakers need it without both Davis and Kuzma. Dwight Howard was also a perfect four for four from the field in the first half.
