Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers news
According to Land of Basketball’s database, the Lakers have played the Pacers in 94 regular season games all-time. Los Angeles is 62-32 versus Indiana. Plus, in the previous three head-to-head meetings, the Lakers are 2-1 against the Pacers. On May 15, 2021, the last time these teams faced off during the regular season, Los Angeles won 122-115 on the road at Gainbridge FieldHouse. Though, these teams are also 5-5 against one another in their past 10 head-to-head contests.
After the Lakers were defeated 106-100 by the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, forward Anthony Davis mentioned to reporters about how he needs to adjust his game plan. The eight-time All-Star discussed cutting and setting picks to help his team’s offensive production. Not to mention, Davis feels LeBron’s return could be limiting his usefulness, such as dropping to a third or fourth option. No matter how the ten-year veteran feels, he has to adapt if the Lakers plan to earn a top-eight seed in the Western Conference.
AD says THT has to figure out ways to score by cutting, setting picks, etc. He called them “the little things.” He feels LeBron’s return may have messed with him since he went from being a key piece to the third or fourth option in the starting lineup.
