Anthony Davis played a strong game setting the tone with a strong first half.
Against the Clippers, it was plain to everyone that the offense was based around LeBron James and Anthony Davis taking turns. It happened again but in a different way. LeBron James dominated the second half of the game. AD took care of the first half.
Anthony Davis scored 17 of his 21 points in the first half. He also grabbed seven rebounds, collected two assists and steals and blocked five shots.

The Lakers won this game, but this is not the Anthony Davis that blew away the Golden State Warriors in the first preseason game. He has faded in and out at times trying to build chemistry and figure out how to play with James on the offensive end.
The defensive end on this night was no problem because the Jazz really got locked down by a Davis led Lakers defense.
But when the offensive side catches up with the defensive side of the ball. Well, outside of the LA Clippers, the NBA has been warned. The man invents ways to score at times.
