SACRAMENTO, Calif. — It’s been a little bit of necessity driving invention, but the Los Angeles Lakers seem to have found a way to manage life without Anthony Davis.
Somehow, since losing their star center more than three weeks ago, the team has even managed to play winning basketball, navigating travel and back-to-back games and injuries piling up beyond Davis’.
They’ve done it with increased competitiveness, a greater sense of urgency from LeBron James on down, and by role players taking advantage of more minutes and shots.
