One playoff series so far, and one clear reminder: how much of Anthony Davis’ genetic code is needed to make the proteins and molecules essential for these Lakers’ championship growth, development and health.
The Lakers are at their best when they play great defense—then run the floor to turn that great defense into easy offense. They thrive by exploiting size advantages over all comers whether Davis plays power forward or center—as seen in their 55-point playoff average for points in the paint, best in the league. When they hit their outside shots, too, the game becomes awfully easy for them.
