Thanks to Anthony Davis, the Lakers finished with a 111-88 win over the Trail Blazers, tying their first-round NBA playoff series at one game apiece.
"I never played with a guy of his caliber," Davis said."To be able to have the success that we’re having so far is great and he’s just been staying in my ear about everything, especially through the playoffs right now. He’s seen it all in the 25 years he’s been playing ..."
"I’ve had some great teammates in my career. AD is one of those unicorns and he does things that some of my other great teammates are not capable of doing," James said before reflecting on his teams in Cleveland and Miami ."I played with Dwyane Wade and he could do some things that AD is not capable of doing.

After all, Davis scored 28 points and offset his poor shooting numbers by getting to the free-throw line . It did not help that the Lakers went 5-of-32 from 3-point range. Still, Davis conceded that he felt"off-balance a lot" and initially settled for jumpers. Though he drove to the basket, Davis believed he lacked the necessary aggressiveness consistently. Hence, Davis had only two points on 1-of-3 shooting and two free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter.
