The Lakers just can’t seem to gain any traction this season. Seemingly every encouraging win is followed by an equally frustrating defeat. A win against the Golden State Warriors on the road was followed up on Monday by being on the wrong end of a flame-throwing Blazers team that blitzed their way to a win.
One of the central figures of those games, and the Lakers over recent weeks, has been Anthony Davis. Statistically, it’s been rather ho-hum from the big man in the last two contests. He struggled offensively against the Warriors but made a number of big defensive plays.
