After winning just one of their last five games, the Los Angeles Lakers cruised to a 105-104 victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night.

Davis finished the season with 33 points and 11 points, continuing his MVP-level season. James scored 27 points and 14 assists, continuing to show that his court vision seems to improve with age.

LeBron looks a lot more like himself tonight. His energy is high, he attacks the basket tirelessly, his mid-range shot drops, and his passing is exquisite. That’s what we need. 🔥

Anthony Davis 33 points, 11 rebounds. Good game 🔥 MVP AD

The Lakers looked like championship contenders early this season after starting the year 10-4, but they have shown their weaknesses in recent weeks. They picked up a tough win on Sunday to improve to 12-8, now they’ll look to continue to build momentum.
