Anthony Davis didnāt destroy his former team
Anthony DavisĀ also stacked up numbers against his former team, filling up the box scoreĀ with 21-points, 14 rebounds (6 offensive!) and six blocked shots.Ā However, for the second straight game, it was an uneven performance. Davis only shot 6-21.
To be totally honest, this play right here will be the talk around Lakers Nation after the excitement of the LeBron/Zion showdown fades. Add one more nagging injury to the growing list of ADās medical report.
The Lakers faithful got a possible nightmare scare in the fourth quarter. First off, take a look at the hustle to get back in transition defense. If the NBA hasnāt sent the Defensive Player of the Year trophy yet, feel free to send it. It appears his left hand and elbow was banged pretty good pinningĀ Nicolo Melliās shot to the backboard. To make things worse, it was reported that he dinged his hand on the previous offensive possession as well. Load management time folks.
