“This BIG 3 looks UNSTOPPABLE!”- James Worthy reacts Lakers CRUSH Mavericks 127-110; LeBron: 25 Pts

A Sports Net Lakers driven by your Southern California Honda dealers I’m Chris McGee joined by big game James Worthy and Byron Scott Mike trudell and Mike bresnahan will be down at crypto.com Arena Lakers back up their brilliant performance on Monday MLK Day vers the Thunder with arguably even a

Better showing against the Dallas Mavericks dominating performance from the jump fellas three guys over 20 points 33 assists 32 to four in Fast Break points 62 paint points 43% from three and tacos for the fans let’s go back downtown D’Angelo Russell’s with Mike Dre all right D’Angelo Russell pretty thorough team performance tonight

Zooming out a little bit uh has the offense started to come together a little bit like what are you seeing on that end as you guys are getting pretty good shots the last several games I think every game um that we play is going to present something different and

Um as of late it’s been easy to figure out kind of what the game’s presenting for us um could be anybody’s night for us just keep sharing the ball and just playing the right way makes teams have to guard us you know everybody so it’s it’s tough to guard that you’ve seen it

In a result tonight yeah you found a rhythm with the shooting coming into this one the last five games around 19 points close to 50% tonight you get the 29 five more threes where are you starting to find your shots cuz it’s looking a little more like it did during

That late season run and then into the playoffs last when I work on him and just get into him with confidence the bench units seem to have come together as well Banner build seems to be getting closer to full health hasim mura coming off there Christian and Max you and

Austin kind of Staggering with that group what are you seeing from the bench guys like I say it could be anybody’s night and we playing the right way those guys feel you know involved those guys are you know contributing a lot of things to the to the game like you said

Ruy V’s getting there Cam’s not there but when he’s healthy we we’re just a deep team so being able to utilize all the guys is is our special power all right so two more home games coming up with Brooklyn and Portland what do you guys need to carry over from these two

Wins against OKC and then tonight against Dallas two two strong uh topheavy teams um we see that we can compete with any team in the league so being able to get these two let’s just keep it going you know got a big road trip coming up so finding a way to in in

In the home stand with a with a nice road trip coming up with some with some confidence and some wins all right D’Angelo we appreciate it appreciate it man too D’Angelo Russell with another great performance and I’m going to show you his numbers over the last four games

Listen he had 29 tonight on 11 of 20 five of seven for three but look what he’s done the last four games guys that’s 16 for 32 from three 50% you see the big scoring output 19 and 39 those came in losses right didn’t really celebrate that but you get to the

Thunder game the efficiency the Mavericks game and uh big game James it’s it’s a huge Plus for this team when D’s cooking it is gerer and and that’s what that’s what they that’s what they they bought him here for uh he’s been in the league long enough uh to mature to a

Point where he he should be playing this way regardless of you know whether he’s coming off the bench or whether he’s starting or whether it’s trade talk he’s been in the league long enough and been through enough that he should be steady consistent and I love what I’m seeing

Out of him right now uh he’s keeping his mind focused on the game uh coming in you know navigating getting other guys involved uh it reminds me of you know when he was in Ohio State almost he was really you know possessing a lot of game

Uh he’s gotten a little bit stronger my man say 202 he produc B more scho TW TW TW uh but yeah you take a look at those guys you look at those numbers the only thing I’m disappointed with you know you got this game under control it’s it’s

It’s it’s done yeah it’s a win coaches on that sideline you see stat sheets you know tell somebody man man look ad needs one more assist two minutes left in the third two minutes left in the third quarter didn’t play all lot in the fourth quarter cuz

The game was pretty much in hand man get this man a triple double number one so he can have his third number two it’ be the first one he had a triple double with a win cuz remember he took a lot of the blame on himself for that Utah game

And he had a epic performance just didn’t shoot the ball well but he had a performance that only CID had 15 11 and four yeah but it’s still a 20 twin Twin I think I put myself back in the game yeah you’re right Co I need one assist I’m going back in Honestly though guys it’s it’s super fun to see uh you know ad just the level he’s at that competitive fire that we always knew he

Had but he got critiqued for often um he’s on the floor he’s reliable and he is just doing it on both ends and he is demanding uh I mean big game he comes out in that first quarter he he puts up 1012 every single game and sets the tone

Never seen him this focused and ready to go and I think it’s been trending over the last two or three years you know they want in the bubble he’s been around LeBron watching that leadership and kind of watching uh how it’s done I don’t think he really knew exactly how in New

Orleans even though he was playing great basketball there uh but I think he’s realized being under the under the spotlight being under the microscope being in Los Angeles uh been under the gun every night knowing what’s expected of him and he’s taking all that on and

Somehow in the last couple of years he conjured up maturity leadership focus and he knows it’s his team right now even though LeBron is still here he knows this is his team and he’s playing like it is I I love the words you just used and Mike trell and I were talking

With ad’s Dad uh the other night after the game great guy by the way if you ever gotten to meet him just a great young a great guy um and and we were talking about ad and pumping him up and the funny thing about ad which I love

That you talking about as maturity is listen if the Lakers were doing better record he’d be in the MVP conversation and he’ be the defensive player of the year he’d be right in there but he’s not because but he doesn’t he just wants to win games and I think that’s the sign of

A leader and maturity it’s not about those things that we care about he just wants to win games right team right in the good spot and again that’s rub rubbing off because of LeBron James yeah because that’s LeBron James he just wants to win he don’t care about numbers

And he don’t care about stats and all this he wants to win ad is the same way and I think right now uh all you haters back in the day and and all you guys who’ve been criticizing him about his toughness and uh about trading him get

Rid of AD you know I hope you eating your words and and also you be a man and apologize that’s right apologize to this man for coming out taking all that in and accepting it all like you have to do when you’re in La accountability took accountability but now the way he’s

Playing right now go up and apologize to that man and tell him you’re sorry for even thinking that because he is one of the best players in this league and right now he’s playing at an MVP level where would you have to be in order to

Be in the conversation of if if he moves up if they can move up to say like fifth still would be enough be there big game you got to be top four top you just I think for MVP defensive player of the year maybe a little different that’s the

Unfortunate thing we’ve been talking a lot about that like on the n a lot but his level of play big game is up there with top three I’d rather have a MVP in the finals they I 100% by the way you do somebody who had one somebody who has had one he can

Speak on it he can speak on mic like that over there referee Jersey all right let’s hear from Darin ham he speak with mik Speech for spe speech your tower has destroy can ese the web that [Applause] I our base is under attack to attack I’m just getting started deated You have defeated an enemy to has deated to one an enemy has defeated an ally has defeated you don’t base is under attack an enemy has been defeated defe double kill on ultimate double kill triple kill Defeated an enemy your team has destroyed a tower an ally has been [Applause] defeated for you embrace the for you an ally has been defeated legary double kill triple kill triple fore foree Foree spee Fore En deated Evate Fore hold the is my you fore for speech For
