Anthony Davis believes he cost the Lakers the win

Dominant since the resumption, in the absence of LeBron James, with in particular 33 points at 56% success in shooting, 13.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks on average in five matches, Anthony Davis has gone down several notches in recent days.

Already discreet against the Raptors with only 8 points and seven shots attempted, he finished the game lost against New York with 17 points at 8/18 in shooting and an ugly 1/5 in free throws.

” It’s me “, responds inside, to ESPNwhen asked why and how the Lakers lost to the Knicks. “I was catastrophic. I did not put anything: neither the layups, nor the free throws. I didn’t do my job in this game. »

Even if he took 16 rebounds and distributed 4 assists, Davis failed to weigh in the last quarter, which would have saved his performance, with only three small points at 1/4 shooting.

As the Raptors had done with success, was it not New York’s defense that above all disturbed the 2020 champion? “I missed a lot of shots, that’s all,” he dismisses. “I don’t think they did anything special. A lot of times it was one-on-one, and there were a few duels. »

“It’s Everyone”for his part reacted Dennis Schroder to spare his teammate. “When we lose, we lose as a team. Same when you win. Davis tries to be huge all the time and 90% of the time he is. »

After two very average matches for him, “AD” will owe his teammates a revenge and that’s good, the next match is against his former team, the Pelicans. And it will be, like all the others now, an important meeting in the race for the “play-in” and the playoffs since the two teams have the same record and follow each other in the standings.
