LeBron James and Anthony Davis looked very much like the dominant duo that led the Los Angeles Lakers to the 2020 NBA Championship in the season opener against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. But nearly everyone else struggled to match that level and it cost the Lakers in the end.
Both James and Davis posted 30 point double-doubles, but Russell Westbrook struggled mightily in his purple-and-gold debut and the Lakers dropped the season opener to the Warriors, 121-114.
LeBron led the Lakers with 34 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists while Davis finished with 33 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks, but no other Laker reached double-figures on the night.
