Nikola Jokic learned that Anthony Davis is a little bit better than Montrezl Harrell!
This is a Lake Show Life warning to the Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat. If Anthony Davis comes out aggressive in the first frame looking to score and gains a rhythm, forget it. It’s over. The Nuggets started with Paul Millsap on him and AD dogged him so bad he probably asked for a raise in the locker room.
When Nikola Jokic switched onto AD, he put a whipping on him so bad, you wonder how much hype went into the Los Angeles Clippers roster. Jokic smoked the Clippers’ big men.
In this game, Jokic got smoked by Davis!

Anthony Davis collected a stat sheet of 37 points, 10 rebounds (3 offensive!) and 4 assists. He shot 11-21 from the field and the aggressive gauge for Lakers fans to watch, 12-15 from the free-throw line. AD got the offense rolling early with 14 points in the 1st quarter.
What is impressive for the Lakers (Complete dread for future opponents!) is the chemistry that getting fine-tuned with Rajon Rondo. This was a reminder of their era in New Orleans when they swept Portland back in 2018.
This is the one player the Denver Nuggets have no answer for. Plus LeBron James is commanding more. He was fouled on a dunk attempt and you could see the King telling him to go up stronger and dunk it!
To put this in perspective, if this wasn’t a blowout, AD could have gone for 50! Now that Rondo is hitting him with passes in the perfect spot and LeBron pushing him, this dude is unstoppable folks!
Speaking of LeBron James, read on and see how he did!
