The Washington Wizards suffered their third loss in a row tonight (between the first and the second), at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, who already have three wins after going 119:130 at the Capital One Arena.
Danny Avdia finished the evening with 7 points and 8 rebounds, and especially watched closely the performance of Anthony Davis: the visiting star scored a season-high 55 points, along with 17 rebounds and 3 blocks in a monstrous evening.
The home team, on the other hand, lost Bradley Beal to a hamstring strain early in the first quarter.
Avdia again started with the five and spent 25 minutes on the floor, showing a poor shooting display with one hit from beyond the arc out of eight attempts.
The Israeli was accurate in 2/3 shots for two, and also contributed two steals and one block.

Davis, who was just four points away from his career high, simply punished the Wizards from all range: the big man shot 2/3 on threes, 20/27 on twos and a perfect 9/9 from the free throw line, with LeBron James playing second fiddle this time, with 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.
Russell Westbrook focused on distributing the ball and recorded a season high of 15 assists alongside his 6 points.
