Anthony Davis has a monster game, finishing with 42 points and 23 rebounds to help propel the Lakers to a 112-107 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
The Lakers were perfect, Anthony Davis dominating everywhere on the basketball court while the scoreboard ticked up in their favor on nearly every possession. The Lakers’ energy was off the charts, the team in complete control as it flew around and forced turnovers and missed shots. The offense was in perfect sync as it found either Davis or someone else wide open for layups and dunks. It was a team at its peak. But it lasted just 12 minutes.
LaMelo Ball’s second three early in the second quarter cut the lead to 16, but he rolled his ankle while backpedaling down the court. He left the game and didn’t return, playing only nine minutes. The Hornets, though, stayed hot from deep while the Lakers’ execution on both ends of the court cratered. LeBron James badly airballed a three to end one possession. Davis was forced to shoot off of one knee from 19 feet away to end another.
