Who needs point guards when you have huge 7-footers who can pass, right? Playing without LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers big men are putting on a passing exhibition against the Phoenix Suns.
Peep the clip below to see Lakers center Marc Gasol make an unreal pass that he *totally* did on purpose:

If this were a game of two-man horse, I'm taking the letter on that one. Anthony Davis is having a field day catching lobs from his Lakers frontcourt partners. Andre Drummond threw him a room service dime earlier in the game, which he slammed down with authority as well.

What's even more exciting for Lakers fans is seeing Davis extremely active and effective. AD is fresh off a monster performance, albeit in a loss against the Portland Trail Blazers. He hasn't put out those flames just yet, torching the Phoenix Suns in the first half of their heavyweight showdown.
Coming off his 36-point, 12-point, 5-assist effort at POR, Davis has 20 points on 8 of 13 FG’s with 5 boards, 1 steal and 1 block with 1:31 left in the 1st half and LAL up 57-39.

Anthony Davis added two more free throws in there for good measure, finishing off the half with 22 huge points. As things stand, there's a clear likelihood that these two teams meet in the first round of the playoffs.
The Lakers find themselves stuck in the mud with the seventh seed, while the Suns themselves hold the second spot in a crowded Western Conference.
