The Lakers’ first-year confidence grew as the season progressed, thanks to his teammates.
Your Los Angeles Lakers improved their record to 5-5 after a well-deserved win over the Portland Trail Blazers to remain undefeated at home.
Lakers superstar Anthony Davis led the way in scoring without his teammate on offense, LeBron James, in this game.
James missed Sunday’s game with a left calf injury, and Davis replaced him.
This isn’t just about Davis, however; Many other Lakers have stepped up without James, including freshman Laker forward Cam Reddish.
For the second straight game, Reddish’s offense led the purple and gold, scoring 18 points in Sunday’s win.
This is the second time since the beginning of the season that Reddish scored 15+.

“I feel like all my teammates did a great job of pouring in on me and telling me how much they believed in me.
I’ve never had an atmosphere like this in my entire career My NBA.
” (By Cam Reddish via Spectrum SportsNet) Although Cam is only in his fifth season, this is his fourth team.
The 24-year-old was a lottery pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, and after playing for the Atlanta Hawks (where he was drafted), the New York Knicks and the Portland Trail Blazers, he seemed to have lost everything.
rank.
However, the Lakers saw something in the youngster and took a chance this season.
Such a comment could be very helpful to the former Blue Devil Duke.
This not only shows the trust that Los Angeles has in him, but also shows what kind of teammate and leader LeBron is.
Not only saying you trust him but showing it on the field is very important for a young player who is still trying to learn.
If Reddish can continue this stellar play, the Lakers will be the championship team we were all hoping for before the season started.
