Irving ejection further weakens Harden-less Nets; Jazz keeps winning at home
Andre Drummond finished with a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds as Los Angeles Lakers defeated Brooklyn Nets 126-101 on Saturday in a battle between two teams lacking much of their star power. The Lakers entered the game missing their two best players — LeBron James and Anthony Davis — but they overcame that with energetic play, strong perimeter shooting and a lockdown defence. Without James and Davis, the Lakers had been one of the NBA's lowest-scoring teams over the past couple of weeks. James was missing his 11th game in a row and Davis has been sidelined for the past 25.More Related News
