It was a welcome return to NBA action for the Los Angeles Lakers, but for once it wasn't LeBron James that stood out in their victory on Thursday night.
The Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 124-111 on Thursday and they were firing on all cylinders, but it was newly acquired Malik Beasley that stole the show. Beasley scored 25 points on the night, but was one of eight Lakers players to hit double figures.
All season long it's been the James / Anthony Davis show, and LeBron has been urging the Lakers to make positive trades. The Lakers were very active before the trade deadline, and Davis now thinks that they have the "complete team" after a shaky start to the season.
