Anthony Davis (37 points), LeBron James (33) and the Lakers flip a 20-point deficit to a 13-point lead with just under four minutes left in regulation, but they run out of gas and Jayson Tatum (44)…
LOS ANGELES — Think of all the Lakers ask of Anthony Davis, who has been the team’s leading scorer this season while routinely guarding two men at once on defense.Two times in the last week, Davis could have won games at the free-throw line at the end of regulation. On Tuesday night against the Lakers’ most bitter rival, he had two chances to do it.
With 37 points and 12 rebounds, Davis was a huge reason that the Lakers were ever in position to win at all. But he kicked himself again for not being able to close after missing a similar opportunity on Friday in Philadelphia. James scored 33 points with nine rebounds and nine assists, while Westbrook added 20 points and 14 rebounds, helping the undersized Lakers show some fight against the bigger, more physical Celtics.
