Lakers vs. Blazers takeaways: Anthony Davis concentrates on anchoring defense

PORTLAND, Ore. —

Every now and then, Anthony Davis would limp up and down the court, making it obvious that the left hip spasm was still an issue for the Lakers big man.

Yet Davis still played 34 minutes and 47 seconds for the Lakers during their in-season tournament game against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center, and he still was a force.

His double-double of 16 points and 14 rebounds was instrumental in the win.

Davis had ice packs all over his body as he sat in his chair inside the Lakers’ locker room Friday night.
