On Friday night, LBJ and the Lakers took on the San Antonio Spurs. It was a road game for the LA Lakers and they secured the win over SA Spurs 94-105. Interestingly, this was Lakers’ first road win of the season.

With this dub, the Lakers improved their record (6-11). Lakers now stand 13th in the Western Conference standings.

The dynamic duo of Los Angeles Lakers, that is LeBron James and Anthony Davis had a great game to pull off the win against the Spurs.

Anthony Davis is in great form and he performed well in this game too. Davis put up 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists.

On the other hand, LeBron James put up 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists in 33 minutes of playtime.

Lonnie Walker IV also had a good game, putting up 18 points, while Troy Brown Jr. put up 10 points.

Meanwhile, San Antonio Spurs lost its seventh straight game, the second-longest losing streak in the NBA this season. The Spurs are now (6-14) and stand 14th in the Western Conference.

Tre Jones of SA Spurs scored 19 points, while Devin Vassell added 18 points and Keldon Johnson had 15 points.

However, the return of LBJ was not as smooth as expected. James might have had a good game but he caught himself up in an unpopular stat which quickly grabbed the attention of TV analyst Skip Bayless.

LBJ might have had a good return game but simultaneously he had a ridiculously high rate of turnovers in the same game. In the 33 minutes that James played, he had nine turnovers.

Reacting to his nine turnovers, evergreen LeBron James hater, analyst Skip Bayless had a lot to say.
