The Lakers are down by 7 points at the half after being up until the dying minutes of the quarter. Their players have again failed to get it going and that has left a big hole in their offense.

With the Lakers down by a point, Kent Bazemore brought the ball up on a fast break. He spot the run of Anthony Davis near the rim and put it up on the platter for the big man to finish.

Currently, Davis is leading the Lakers with 17 points at the half. While he isn’t shooting as efficiently, he is taking the major offensive load. Westbrook has been on point from downtown, but still continues to struggle. He has added 6 points so far with 2 assists to his name.
