Anthony Davis will need to play MVP-caliber basketball if the Lakers want to turn around their season. He did just that in a 123-92 win over the Spurs.
Eventually, it’ll be harder for the Lakers to follow this path, the one that everyone seems to agree is the one with the best chance of leading the team to a successful season.
Davis being great, playing at an MVP caliber once again, is the clearest pathway to Western Conference relevance.AdvertisementDennis Schroder and Thomas Bryant finally took the court for the Lakers, who won a second in a row on a night Kendrick Nunn found his shot. Early in the fourth, Davis went to the bench with 30 points, 18 rebounds, three steals and a block. The Lakers were up big — so big, in fact, that Vin Diesel felt comfortable enough to come down behind the Lakers bench to say hello.
Just like he did in wins against the Nets and the Pistons, Davis dominated at the rim, his presence making life easier for the Lakers’ perimeter players.“AD has to be the leading force, the leading charge just in terms of how we want to play inside and outside basketball,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said after the Lakers beat the Pistons on Friday. “Pressure on the rim, pressure in the paint constantly. … The biggest thing is we know we have to get AD going.
