The Los Angeles Lakers are aiming for their fifth straight victory as they lead the San Antonio Spurs 77-67 with less than a minute left in the third quarter. Anthony Davis has once again been impressive with 21 points, nine rebounds, and two assists so far in the game. He also had this great alley-oop connection with Dwight Howard.

In five games for the Lakers, AD has averaged 29.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.8 blocks. He's looked very dominant this early in the season, although fans are still hoping that he remains healthy throughout the Purple and Gold's campaign.

As for Howard, it is clear that he's way past his prime, but he has been doing all of the little things for the Lakers this season. He's been the team's defensive anchor and he also provides them with much-needed rebounding. He has won most of the Laker fans' hearts back because of his impressive play.
