Anthony Davis dropped season-high 37 points and led the Los Angeles Lakers to a win over the Brooklyn Nets.
The Los Angeles Lakers registered their third win of the season as they defeated the Brooklyn Nets last night. The star of the show was Anthony Davis, as he led the team without LeBron James against Kevin Durant and co.
Anthony Davis ended up with season-high 37 points and 17 records in the win over the Nets and dominated the entire game. AD was aggressive against the Nets, and we haven’t seen this version of him for a long time. After the game, the Lakers star opened up on what motivated him heading into this game.
Talking about it, Davis said, “I was watching the Packers game before … and Aaron Rodgers threw a slant to Allen Lazard, he ran for like 40 yards. And he started [screaming] and flexing and all that, and it got me some motivation before the game , trying to dominate. Be dominant. Knowing that we had to get this win, knowing that a lot of guys — especially with [LeBron James] out — a lot of guys lean on me to try to get the job done.”
Hopefully, Anthony Davis will continue to dominate like this as the Lakers need him at his absolute best even when LeBron James will recover from his groin injury.
