Hook shots, post-ups, deep two-point jumpers, fast-break layups, mid-range pull-ups, floaters in the lane, even a three-pointer – you name it, Anthony Davis scored that way during his 41-point eruption Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Somewhat surprisingly, among the three-time All-Star’s 14 baskets, however, none were dunks, something he’s often feasted on during his five-year NBA career.
While leading the NBA in scoring (32.1 points per game) through the first month of the 2016-17 regular season, Davis has continued to demonstrate an incredibly wide range of offensive skills, helping him increase his average by nearly eight points from last season’s 24.
