When Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Los Angeles Clippers on Christmas Day, the assumption would be there would be plenty of overreaction from the game.
This assumption proved to be correct as many decided to use the loss at a litmus test for what the team may or may not be capable of in June.
This is not a new practice in the league as fans and media alike love using the results of one game to form all sorts of conclusions about a team or player’s ceiling.
