Scores for Anthony Davis and LeBron James in the Lakers' loss to the Cavs

The Cavaliers completely dominated the Lakers, beating them 134-110.

It wasn't just a catastrophic loss; The Cavs were in control the entire time, leading by double digits and not even letting the Lakers hint of a comeback.

This is one thing you watch to study your mistakes, but once you do, you burn the tape.

Before we do that, though, it's time to see who, if anyone, played well.

So let’s dive into loss. As always, grades are based on each player's expectations. The grade “B” represents that player’s average performance.

Anthony Davis

31 minutes, 22 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 9-17 FG, 0-1 3PT, 4-8 FT, -18

It wasn't a bad performance from AD, but the Lakers needed one of those 30-plus point games from him to get a win.

They failed to do that and with his decline in production the Lakers were destroyed.

One thing to monitor is the AD hip. He fell often and held on to it a few times. He said he'll be fine, but that's something to keep in mind during this road trip.

Grade: C

Rui Hachimura

28 minutes, 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 4-6 FG, 0-1 3PT, -11

Hachimura was efficient with his shooting, but six field goal attempts weren't nearly enough.

The Lakers need him to be more aggressive, especially on nights when the stars aren't performing at their usual pace.

With just five boards, this was his second lowest rebounding game of the season.

Grade: C

LeBron James

29 minutes, 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 9-13 FG, 1-3 3PT, 7-7 FT, -17

It was a better LeBron game tonight compared to his last outing, but that's not saying much.

He still struggled in the first quarter and finished strong near the rim. Had he gotten off to a better start, the game might not have gotten out of hand.

He wasn't good defensively.

Luckily, the Lakers play the Toronto Raptors next. Hopefully, a weaker opponent and a few days between games will bring LeBron back to full health. He is currently suffering from an illness.

Grade: C+

D'Angelo Russell

24 minutes, 10 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 2-7 FG, 0-3 3PT, 6-6 FT, -8

Russell hasn't had a good game yet this season.

Against the Cavs, he was a turnstile on defense and wasn't positive enough on offense to compensate. The only good thing about Russell's night was that he handled the ball well, had five assists and had no turnovers.

Grade: C-

Austin Reaves

28 minutes, 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2-6 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-2 FT, -14

Only two made field goals and four had turnovers in this game; It was a bad night for Reaves. Defensively, he had some bad moments defending Donovan Mitchell; not many do well against the All-Star, but he still looked tough out there.

Grade: C

Jaxson Hayes

19 minutes, 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2-2 FG, 2-2 FT, -11

This was an average performance from Hayes; He had a nice dunk on a LeBron pocket pass and brought a lot of energy to the game. Since Hayes is more than 20 points behind for most of the game, he is in no position to overcome such a deficit. At best, he's a nice stand-in who can keep the good times rolling. In this scenario, he couldn't shine.

Grade: C

Gabe Vincent

16 minutes, 5 points, 2-5 FG, 1-3 FG, -10

Vincent had a nice 3-pointer after coming on, but that was it. It's hard to say what Vincent is good at on this team and how to get that out of him. At the moment he is not explosive offensively and only slightly above replacement level defensively.

This does not apply to a player who plays more than 15 minutes on a winning team.

Grade: C-

Max Christie

27 minutes, 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1-6 FG, 1-5 3PT, 3-4 FT, -19

With more minutes comes more responsibility.

Christie has not lived up to the expectations that were placed on him through five games of the season. He struggled with the Cavs' physical and quick guards in the outfield and was lacking offensively.

The effort, concentration and attention to detail wasn't there. In the second half he seemed lost on the floor just going through the motions.

Grade: D

Dalton Knecht

22 minutes, 18 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 6-12 FG, 2-7 3PT, 4-4 FT, -11

No, I'm not giving Knecht flowers for scoring 18 minutes in garbage time.

When both teams played the game head-to-head, he was a rookie. He was aggressive but ineffective. I know he can score a lot and has nice jumping; Do it when it matters.

Grade: C

Bronny James, Cam Reddish

Both Bronny and Reddish played less than ten minutes in garbage time, so there's not much to judge. Bronny got his first NBA bucket and Reddish made a nice defensive effort.

JJ Redick

It's hard to blame Redick for this loss. The Lakers were never really there. Maybe it's time to adjust the minutes and try other players like Knecht or Reddish while Christie is struggling. Overall, Reddick was fine; The team simply has to play better.

Grade: C+

Inactive on Wednesday: Jalen Hood-Schifino, Maxwell Lewis, Christian Koloko, Quincy Olivari, Armel Traore, Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood
