Anthony Davis shone alongside LeBron James and led the Lakers towards their first victory against the Golden State Warriors in the playoff semifinals
Anthony Davis shone in the victory of lakers against the warriors last Tuesday night, the 2nd. The star scored 30 points, grabbed 23 rebounds, blocked four times and even gave four assists. The numbers of the basket of the match, which ended with a score of 112 to 117 for the Los Angeles team, made LeBron James be enchanted even more by the pivot.
In an interview for “ESPN”, the number 23 of the Lakers opened the game in relation to the great performance of Anthony Davis against the Warriors. LeBron James placed the player among the main athletes in the history of the Los Angeles franchise and warned that the pivot will be marked forever among the main names of the team. A justification for this statement, according to the ace, is precisely because he is currently considered one of the best in the league.
“The Lakers franchise over the years, throughout its existence, has always had big dominant men, dominant guys who have been a force on the edge. That’s why their shirts are in the spotlight. AD will be there (in the story) when you’re done playing. #3 will go down in history. He continues to show why he is one of the best players we have in this league.“, said LeBron.
Darvin Ham, coach of the Lakers, spoke about Davis and also highlighted the care the team needs to take to maintain focus against the Warriors. The coach’s biggest concern is with injuries: “We have to manage their loads throughout the regular season so we can push them a little bit more during this time of year. Post season everything is at its peak. You have to reduce your rotation and put pressure on the big players“.
Anthony Davis also evaluated his game against the Warriors and avoided being in the spotlight. He did not hide his satisfaction with the results, but assured that he did what he is used to doing on the court: “The guys gave me the ball in the right places. A lot of that came from pick-and-rolls, post-ups and some offensive rebounds. I was only aggressive when I got the ball, I tried to score and I tried to play for the other guys“.
