After an embarrassing loss at home, the Los Angeles Lakers bounced back in great fashion. Taking down the San Antonio Spurs, they improved to 8-6 for the season. Coming off a beat down, this was a must-win game and the Lake Show did their job. Notably, Anthony Davis stepped up once again in the absence of LeBron James, as he enjoyed a big night.

Davis saw a change in his role as the Lakers started the new season. He shifted back to the center position with the addition of Russell Westbrook. Being one of the best big men in the league, Davis has been showing out this season. He was in his bags against the Spurs going off for 34 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Anthony Davis said: “Who? I don’t know that guy (laughs). Nah, it’s gonna be fun playing against AC. All the stuff he brought to our team to win a championship and to our team last year. He was a big part of what we did here.”

Alex did play a big part while on the Lakers. While he was freaking athletic, his playmaking and defense were one of his stand-outs. Caruso added great strength off the bench and played a vital role in their championship run. Even last year, despite going out in the playoffs, his presence was crucial.
