Miami Heat was expected to be the obvious favorites on Wednesday night when they locked horns against the Los Angeles Lakers, who were without LeBron James as well as Anthony Davis. On the other hand, the away side had all of their marquee players on the court – Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry as well as Victor Oladipo, indicating just how bad could the outcome be for the purple and gold.
However, this is just when no one was aware of the incoming wrath of German International, Dennis Schroder, who dropped his season-best 32-point tally to lead the Lakers to an inspirational 112-109 win. LA Lakers’ most recent win stretched their winning record to 3 games now, only the second time that they have managed this feat in the 2022-23 NBA Season.
Given the performance of Dennis Schroder and how he has been performing since his return to Hollywood for the Lakers, LeBron James felt obligated to applause the scoring prowess of the German, who evidently made the most clutch plays in the dying stages to record this win for Darvin Ham’s team.
Dennis Schroder certainly lived up to his nickname on Wednesday, and he undoubtedly deserves a ton of credit for helping the Lakers secure their third straight win. Take a look at the deserving shoutout given to him by his the Lakers’ teammate LeBron James.
leaving aside Dennis Schroder and LeBron James for the time being, special mention needs to go to Russell Westbrook as well. Brodie was already struggling with a foot injury scare yet he dropped 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. On the other hand, Thomas Bryant too provided the treat near the rim, scoring 21 points against Bam Adebayo.
