Cleveland Cavaliers vs LA Lakers Game Player Stats and Box Scores for April 6, 2024

The LA Lakers are defending their homecourt against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight in an exciting interconference battle. The Lakers are looking to win their fourth straight game against a team they already defeated this season, while the Cavs are trying to avoid suffering a second straight loss.

The Lakers are ninth in the West with a 44-33 record and a win will allow them to overtake the Sacramento Kings in the standings.

Meanwhile, a loss for the Cavs (46-31) means they'll end with the same number of losses as the Orlando Magic and the New York Knicks. This sets them up to have a lower seed once the playoffs come around.

Both teams came out hot, playing a tightly contested first quarter. D'Angelo Russell was on fire in the opening quarter, getting 10 points to lead his team to a narrow 36-33 lead.

Donovan Mitchell seemed to lack aggression in the first, only attempting three shots and hitting only one to end the quarter with two points.

The Cavs looked as the second quarter began, allowing their opponents to score 15 unanswered points before making their first field goal. By the nine-minute mark of quarter two, the score was already 51-37 as a result of more scoring from Russell.

While Cleveland eventually got more buckets to fall, they could not prevent the LA Lakers from getting more buckets. Russell continued to look unstoppable as his team pulled ahead of their competition.

Meanwhile, Taurean Prince came alive, draining all three shot attempts in the second quarter, including two from beyond the arc.

The Cavs dug a massive hole for themselves in the second quarter and would require significant halftime adjustments to make a comeback in the second half.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis dazzles with double-double performances

The LA Lakers secured their fourth straight win and are now eighth in the West with a 45-33 record.

Anthony Davis and LeBron James both stuffed the stat sheet tonight, dropping a double-double on the Cavs.

LeBron went for 24 points and 12 assists, once again displaying his elite court vision and incredible basketball IQ. Performances like these show that he continues to defy father time and why he remains as the face of the league, even at 39-years old.

Meanwhile, his running mate Anthony Davis went for 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. He also flexed his defensive abilities with six rejections. If these types of performances continue, the Lakers might end up surpassing the expectations everyone has for them once they enter the postseason.
