Anthony Davis continues to find his groove and rhythm.

AD tweaked his injury in the last game against the Knicks. Considering his injuries and trying to find a rhythm, it was good to see LeBron take the lead and set the tone. That doesn’t mean that Davis didn’t make an impact.

Anthony Davis had 16 points,11 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and a block. He even hit a huge 3 pointer to stem the tide of the Nets before the Lakers ran away in the 4th quarter. Then he threw Kyrie Irving’s shot in the 5th row.

The combinations the Los Angeles Lakers have with Anthony Davis and the two centers, JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard strikes fear in opponents. Numerous times the Nets passed up layups because they had the big men in their rear view mirrors. Plus, no one can stop this.

First off, it is important to see the trajectory of the ball when AD caught it with one hand. The power that he brings is amazing in highlights, but it has to be intimidating for teams to deal with on the basketball floor.

The rest of the NBA won’t count this shot, but Lake Show Life will. Game recognizes game around here.

The crowd loved it right? The Los Angeles Lakers are the road team. Like it was stated in the beginning, the Lakers are the only game in town.

Hopefully AD’s injuries are getting better with each passing day. His athleticism will be needed to stop Ben Simmons and the Sixers front line on Saturday.
