The Los Angeles Lakers had their highest-scoring game in 37 years defeating the Indiana Pacers 150-145 in a showdown between two high-scoring teams. Led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, four Lakers players scored at least 25 points marking the first time in over three years that a quartet of teammates achieved this feat.

Indiana, known for its potent offense rallied late but fell short despite solid performances from Pascal Siakam and others. Lakers coach Rick Carlisle praised his team’s resilience while Davis expressed disappointment in their defensive effort.

Despite the win, the Lakers acknowledge the need to improve defensively as they aim to secure a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference.
