Anthony Davis Saves the Day for the Lakers Amidst Russell Westbrook’s Birthday Celebration

Rivalries are heating up in the league as teams go to war. However, an underrated rivalry this season is the LA rivalry. Both Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers have started the NBA season well. With the new ‘Big 3’ of  Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis and LeBron James established by the Lakers, things are starting to settle for them. While Paul George has given a new gateway to the Clippers as their leader.

However, the Lakers are going through some problems. Injuries are haunting the team once again with LeBron getting the worst of it. But among all the problems, the purple and gold got a reason to celebrate. Today marks Westbrook’s 33rd birthday. Likewise, the Lakers celebrated the Brodie’s big day.

With the Brodie celebrating his birthday, the Lakers got in a cake for the superstar. But, AD saved the day for the organisation. In the heat of celebration, Russ went in to blow the candles on the cake. However, Davis stepped in at the right moment and stopped him.

With the ongoing pandemic, blowing candles could be dangerous for the whole team. AD kept that in mind and stopped Russ from doing so. Not only has this duo done well on the court, but it also seems like they have got each others back outside the hardwood.

The absence of LeBron James due to injury has allowed the Russ and AD to share the floor as a duo. They have done a good job when it comes to personal success. However, they have only just started to get to winning prior to which they were 1-3 without the ‘King’. Coming off two consecutive overtime wins, they will look to settle things this time against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
