You could make that claim about a lot of teams, Lakers were in first place when play stopped, Davis didn’t have a season ending injury. All teams got the same rest so they’d just be rested even more by your logic. It doesn’t just affect the Lakers. Then Lakers were actually one of the only teams that missed a rotation player in Avery Bradley. But to act like the Lakers are the only team to have benefitted from rest when all players did is a horrible take.
