The Los Angeles Lakers “Bent” from the absences of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, knowing the away defeat 117-114 by the Charlotte Hornets.
However, the “lake people” claimed the victory until the end, thanks to the excellent night in which the other star of the team was, Russell Westbrook.
The 33-year-old explosive guard completed the match with 35 points, 30 of which came in the second half!
A performance that … reminded him Coby Bryant, as he became first Lakers player after the legend of the “lake people” who achieves 30 points in one half.
The last time “Black Mamba” had a similar performance was on April 13, 2016 against the Utah Jazz.
Russell Westbrook…WOW. ??

Russ has led the Lakers almost all the way back, with 30 second-half points (and counting).
He’s the first Laker with 30 points in a half since Kobe Bryant in his final game (38 in the 2nd half on April 13, 2016 vs Jazz) pic.twitter.com/Lb4dftwD9S
