The Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament behind a 123-109 victory over the upstart Indiana Pacers in Las Vegas Saturday night. Anthony Davis had a monster game for the Lakers who used their size and length to make the night difficult for Pacers’ star Tyrese Haliburton and the rest of Indiana’s squad. James was named MVP for the tournament, and in handing off the award commissioner Adam Silver quipped, “It doesn’t come with a franchise.”
Davis finished with 41 points, 20 rebounds, four assists and five blocks, and James recorded 24 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals, however, stats will not count toward the league’s 82-game regular season standings.
In going 7-0 in the tournament, the Lakers blitzed their way to the top seed by beating the Suns, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers and Jazz in group play before defeating the wild-card Suns in the quarterfinals, the Pelicans in the semifinals and the Pacers in the championship. Along with hoisting the NBA Cup, every Lakers player also will receive $500,000.
Here’s a quick refresher on how the In-Season Tournament is worked. The home teams debuted this season’s city edition uniforms during games that have been played on specially designed courts. Below is the complete In-Season Tournament schedule, scores and standings.
