Before the Lakers were blown out by the Suns 140–111 Sunday night, Lakers star Anthony Davis made a bold statement ahead of the game. Davis, who is currently dealing with an ankle injury, was forced to miss multiple games in the 2021 playoff series against the Suns and was asked if that was the main reason the Lakers lost in six games.
“It was … We know that,” he said, per ESN. “They know that … They got away with one.”
After Phoenix’s blowout win, Suns guard Devin Booker decided to respond to the comments and didn’t hold back.
