Los Angeles Lakers: 4 Lessons from the loss to Milwaukee Bucks
By Ronald Agers
Anthony Davis started slow, but went absolutely NUTS in the second half!
AD’s shooting stats did not look good in the first half, but it wasn’t because he was off. At least three of his shots were in and out. When he got the ball, it seemed the Bucks had him bottled up. Well that’s why basketball has two halves of play.
Man, Anthony Davis gave the Bucks the business after halftime.
AD scored 28 of a game-high 36 points putting up buckets in every feasible way legal in the basketball rule book. He added 10 rebounds (3 offensive!), 5 assists, 3 blocks and a steal. He even had flashbacks to the first Memphis game at the free throw line hitting 14-17.
He basically brought the Lakers back by himself in the 3rd quarter from a 21 point deficit.

Remember Davis has a sore ankle. Whatever got into him, the Los Angeles Lakers need to bottle it and sell it because this guy is determined to silence the whispers about his injury concerns.
Not many players on this planet can tell Giannis to smile for the camera while doing this. The game was over at this point but it shows again the determination.

But it was a shame that this performance was wasted.
