Starting to connect? The tremendous data of the Lakers stars, including Westbrook - voila! sport

The Lakers won six of their last eight games until tonight (Friday to Saturday), but tonight came a real statement of intent.

The team from Los Angeles won away 129:133 against Milwaukee, and it seems that the trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook looks better than ever.

The decision to bring Westbrook off the bench several games into the season turned out to be brilliant, and although he is no longer the player he was at his peak, he manages to make a significant contribution in victories.

Against the Bucks, Westbrook recorded a second straight game with zero turnovers - a feat he recorded for the first time in his 14 years in the NBA.

Along with the 15 points, he also added 11 assists, just like LeBron James, who never lost a single ball.

The assist column also gave LeBron a reason to celebrate tonight, as he moved up to sixth place ever on this list and passed one of the greatest moralists in the history of the game - Magic Johnson.

The veteran star told how it feels to overtake the legend of the Lakers: "It means a lot. The players loved playing with him because of the joy he brought and his ability to give and involve the players next to him. He always wanted to see his friends succeed, I admired that quality in him. It's more exciting that I Doing it in the Lakers uniform."

A monster game.

But with all due respect to Westbrook and James, this victory is first of all written in the name of Anthony Davis.

The center who was seen last season as someone who is behind the record returned this year to show that he is still one of the best tall in the league.

An explosion of 44 points (18 of 27 from the field), 10 rebounds and 3 blocks helped his team overcome the 40 points scored by Giannis Antetokounmpo on the other side.

Davis' averages this year are very reminiscent of the numbers he put up in the bubble in 2020, when the Lakers won the championship, and this is real news for the team trying to make its way to the top of the Western Conference.

Although the Lakers are still only ranked 12th and are carrying on their backs the shocking start of the season, they are now only three games away from the fourth place in the crowded West.

For coach Darwin Hamm, who came to the Lakers from the position of assistant coach at the Bucks, it was impossible to dream of a better closing of the circle.
