The Los Angeles Lakers took on the Brooklyn Nets in the second game of their home stand. The Lakers were coming off a disappointing loss against the Sacramento Kings and they were on a five-game losing streak. They looked to snap their streak and Anthony Davis was leading the attack from the front, in the absence of LeBron James. AD dominated the game as the Lakers were able to secure the victory and he revealed the game plan after the victory.

Anthony Davis has had a good start to the season as he has averaged 23 points and 10 rebounds on over 53% shooting from the field. But he is not dominating like the way he used to and the spacing on the floor is also affecting him. The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the worst shooting teams in the league and this has affected his play as well.

Anthony Davis said the Lakers wanted to wear Kevin Durant down as they win without LeBron James

The Lakers took on the Nets without LeBron James, who missed his second game in a row. Many had expected the Brooklyn Nets to come and blow the Lakers away. But Anthony Davis had other ideas. He was spectacular as he finished with 37 points and 18 rebounds. He dominated the interior as he went 15-25 from the field and he went 7-7 from the free throw line.

Davis has stepped up massively since LeBron suffered an injury. In the last game, he had 24 points, but the majority of the points came from the paint. He is starting to look like his old self, which is a good sign for the Lakers. After the game, he talked about the game plan which led to the victory against the Nets.

He said, ” I think for all of us, you know we had a great film session yesterday. Talked about some schemes we were seeing late game, talked about finishing the quarter… We come out hold this team to 103, knowing that they played yesterday. We just tried to wear KD down. I think everybody did a good job on him”

Kevin Durant did finish with 31 points but he was made to work for it. The Lakers were double-teaming him at every opportunity and they were hounding him all game long. This was the catalyst for the victory as KD’s teammates were unable to make timely shots and the Lakers pulled away in the fourth quarter. They now have a four-day break before returning to action against the Detroit Pistons.
