NBA playoffs: Anthony Davis has a night for the ages as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of their second-round series.
SAN FRANCISCO – Turns out, trying to contain LeBron James might not be the biggest challenge the Golden State Warriors face in their second-round playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers.
About 30 seconds later with Los Angeles leading 115-112, Davis affected Jordan Poole’s errant driving floating layup, then collected the rebound to preserve the lead. Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green takes a shot against Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis in the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the NBA basketball Western Conference semifinal playoff series at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
With his performance Tuesday, Davis joined Shaquille O’Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in Lakers history to have at least 30 points and 20 rebounds in a playoff game. “A.D.’s will be up there when he’s done playing, and the No. 3 will be up in the rafters. He continues to show why he’s one of the best players that we have in this league.”
“But I’m going to continue to be aggressive. I know LeBron’s going to continue to be aggressive. I know Draymond likes to help. If they do decide to put him on me, I’ve got to figure out ways I can be effective with him doing his thing defensively.”
