“He kicked our ass. » Chris Finch didn’t mince words about the performance ofAnthony Davis against his troops. It must be said that with 38 points, 17 rebounds and 2 blocks, the interior of the Lakers shone in Minnesota.
However, everything could have stopped in the third quarter, when he twisted his left ankle. On the ground and with a grimace on his face, Davis scared the fans in Los Angeles, in a streak already seen too much for a few years.
“I knew I was going to keep playing,” explained the 2020 champion to ESPN. “I tightened my shoes and I played with adrenaline until the end of the meeting. It’ll be OK. »
Proof that the player not only tightened his shoes but also his teeth, and that this injury had no influence on his performance, he scored 18 points in the last quarter, including twelve in a row in a few minutes , to dismiss the Wolves. “We put ourselves on the shoulders of Davis and he carried us”comments LeBron James.
Except that the adrenaline will only last for the duration of the meeting and when you wake up this Saturday, it may be another story for the player’s ankle… Answer Sunday evening, during the Lakers’ next game in Houston.
