Anthony Davis steadies the ship in the fourth quarter, and four other takeaways from the Lakers' 116-110 victory over the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
The Lakers’ 13-point lead had been sliced to six points early in the fourth quarter, which made Anthony Davis concerned enough to get off the bench and walk towards the scorer’s table. As he stopped to talk to an assistant coach to see what the plan was, the Portland Trail Blazers scored again, the Lakers’ lead now down to four points. Lakers coach Darvin Ham had seen enough and called a timeout with 9:15 left. Davis came back into the game right then and there to help restore order.
The transition was seamless for Hachimura, his 19 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals pivotal for the Lakers. In his short time with the Lakers, Hachimura has been a starter and a role player. “It's different, but at the end of the day, it’s the same thing,” Hachimura said. “What I have to do is the same thing — play defense, get a rebound and attack on offense. It’s the same thing. Just rhythm-wise, of course, being in the starting lineup it’s easy.
