LOS ANGELES -- It wasn't Anthony Davis' idea to score 50 points Sunday in the Los Angeles Lakers' 142-125 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Avery Bradley first suggested it to him at halftime, when Davis was already up to 27 points. DeMarcus Cousins then encouraged him to keep chasing it during second-half timeouts. And finally, Rajon Rondo instructed him to go get one more bucket when his point total was up to 48.
"The team was telling me, they're weren't telling me how much I had, but they were saying, 'Get 50,'" Davis said after logging the fourth 50-point game of his career.
