Anthony Davis, Andre Drummond hopeful about partnership following first game together

Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond played their first game together as Lakers teammates on Thursday, and while their team didn’t win, they were encouraged by what they were able to accomplish in the limited time they were on the floor together.

“Our defense was really good to start the game,” Davis said. “We were really talking, flying around and guys was covering for each other. That’s the good thing with having another defensive player out there in Drum.

“And then offensively, we’ll just figure it out. It’s something that comes with time. We had one practice together and now 16 minutes to play with each other.
