Davis grabbed 10 offensive rebounds, which tied a career-high in a regular-season game, as the Lakers led throughout. Davis was averaging only 8.6 points in the second half, but had 21 against the Nets, including 15 in the third quarter.
"I was trying to get to the paint and score inside knowing they had limited shot blockers," Davis said."If we put it on the rim then I had a guard on me and a chance to get an offensive rebound."
"That's been the plan and figuring out how to get him more touches and in rhythm. Everything was aggressive," Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. Kevin Durant led the Nets with 31 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Cam Thomas came off the bench to score 15 points and Edmond Sumner added 13. The Lakers led by 16 with less than four minutes remaining in the third, but the Nets rallied to close to 91-87 on a two free throws by Durant with 8:27 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Lakers then blew it open with a 15-2 run, including seven points by Walker and four from Davis.
