The Los Angeles Lakers were absolutely destroyed by the Chicago Bulls, losing 146-115. However, not everything about the game was negative, especially since LeBron James made his return from injury.

James recorded 17 points, six total rebounds, and four assists. While it wasn't necessarily the performance wanted from King James, it was still great to see him back on the court heading into the postseason.

Speaking of returns from injury, former Laker Anthony Davis could soon be back on the court for the Dallas Mavericks. This season, Davis has been averaging 25.7 points, 12 total rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.3 steals per game.

Finally, NBA expert Bill Simmons has surprisingly compared Luka Doncic to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, especially when it comes to the crowd reaction to his appearance.
