It was a delightful triple double night for three stars on Monday night as the Los Angeles Lakers, the Brooklyn Nets and the Bucks continued with their impressive performances in the second round of the NBA season.
LeBron James who is still missing his partner Anthony Davis, was at the heart of things for the Los Angeles Lakers as they edged out the Golden State Warriors.
He was one of three potential MVP guys who posted a triple double in Monday’s matchups as the Lakers beat Warriors 128-97.
The Warriors had turned the corner, temporarily, heading into the game after Stephen Curry posted 32 points on his 33rd birthday to help them end a losing streak of four games against the Jazz 131-119.
But they ended up in the defeat loop again as their season struggles continue.
The Los Angeles Lakers, on the other hand, made it two out of two to stay third in the Western Conference table.
Alongside LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Bucks dropped his third consecutive triple double to help his side past the Washington Wizards 133-122, and to secure their fourth consecutive win.
