Anthony Davis was, once again, unstoppable on Sunday night.
The Los Angeles Lakers center went off in Washington, leading them to a 130-119 win over the Wizards at Capital One Arena with an incredible statline. Davis dropped 55 points in the win while shooting 22-of-30 from the field. He added 17 rebounds, too, and was a perfect 9-of-9 from the free throw line.
Davis’ 55 points was just four shy of his career-high. He has 99 points over his last two games now, too — following the 44 he put up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. That is the most scored by a Lakers player in that period since Kobe Bryant did so in 2007. He’s also the first Lakers player to score at least 40 points and have at least 10 rebounds in consecutive games since Shaquille O’Neal did so in 2000.
"Just being healthy, going out with a mindset of just dominating," Davis said on his turnaround on Spectrum SportsNet."I started off slow, took a couple games to get in-game shape, in-game rhythm. I've just been feeling really good and confident on all my shots, playing with a great pace. Guys have been doing a great job of finding me."
