Los Angeles Lakers blew away the Brooklyn Nets even with LeBron, AD, and Kuzma out.
Both teams were missing some of their star players to begin with, with the Lakers missing LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
In the meantime, the Nets were without their star player James Harden, and things only got worse when Kyrie ejected for the Nets.

Nobody stopped yelling, and they were quickly booted. The Lakers eventually went on a 15-2 run to start the third quarter against the Nets.
They led the Nets for the majority of the game. 90 seconds into the fourth quarter, Los Angeles had stretched its lead to 21 points.
“I thought they were the aggressor,” said Steve Nash, the Nets’ head coach. “They were more physical,” says the narrator.
They were the first to strike. We couldn’t balance their physical prowess or competitive zeal. This is what you’re going to get.
This is a team missing a bunch of guys and guys get an opportunity and their eyes light up and they came out and played harder more than us, played more physical than us, and it’s a great lesson for us.”
Lakers’ absentees included King James, The Brow, and Kuzma.
Not only did the Lakers lack James and Anthony, but they also lacked Kyle Kuzma.
Despite this, they performed admirably on both the offensive and defensive sides, with eight Lakers players scoring in double figures.
Andre Drummond had a double-double performance of 20 points and 11 rebounds.
Dennis Schroder, despite being ejected after 20 minutes, scored 19 points with four assists and a rebound.
