Carmelo Anthony Leads Lakers Past Rockets on Halloween
by privatebet.com - 2021/11/01
The Los Angeles Lakers spent their Halloween playing against the Houston Rocket, but they weren’t easily scared off. The team of veteran NBA legends, led by Carmelo Anthony, managed to continue their winning streak with a 95-85 victory. The 19-year veteran joined the Lakers earlier this year and reached his new high for the team by scoring 23 points. Melo is hoping people will start seeing him in a different light after this win because he believes there’s a misconception about him not being able to adapt to situations. “I'm easily adaptable to any situation and I've always tried to adapt to any situation I've been in. This is an easy adaptation for me just being here and being around the guys, being ready, staying ready, understanding what's needed and being prepared,'' said Anthony, who played for three different teams between 2017 and 2021, when he joined the Lakers. Melo wasn’t the only player who impressed us with his performance during the Lakers' clash against the Rockets. Russell Westbrook was right behind with 20 points, followed by Anthony Davis with 16 and LeBron James with 15 points. This marks the Lakers' fourth win in five games following their disappointing season opening with two losses.
