Anthony Davis, the firefighter on duty

How to get by without LeBron James, so essential to the success of Los Angeles, and shooting at only 21% 3-point success, even against a weak team like Portland? The Lakers responded by relying on Anthony Davis. The interior compiled 30 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks in this meeting.

Above all, well assisted by Rui Hachimura since LeBron James was in the fridge after the blow received against Phoenix, the 2020 champion scored 9 points and took 4 rebounds in the last quarter, during which Darvin Ham’s troops snatched their success.

“It’s Anthony Davis,” simply sums up Austin Reaves for the Los Angeles Times. “As soon as he’s on the floor, and even though obviously we never want James to be out, we have a chance to win. He changes the game in so many ways that the stats don’t show. »

“He is clearly one of the best players in the world”declares Chauncey Billups for ESPN. “Sometimes players like him get going. The penetrations from the outside hurt because they managed to find Davis. He was good and was the best player on the floor. »
