Anthony Davis, Frank Vogel Deny Lakers Grew Complacent Against Warriors

In what has become a routine this season, the Los Angeles Lakers built up a massive early lead against the Golden State Warriors. Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder combined for a big first quarter, but matters unraveled in the second half.

The Warriors hung around throughout the game, erased what was once a 19-point deficit and ultimately pulled off a close win. While the Lakers have generally played well this season, there have been lapses like what was seen against the Warriors.

They began settling for jump shots, going ice cold in the fourth quarter and giving the Warriors all the energy they needed to put the game away.
