After the game, Lakers’ Jared Dudley took to Twitter to praise Anthony Davis’ performance. LeBron James responded to Dudley’s tweet, saying “FACTS!!!!!!!” The tweet had a GIF of a man on fire, showcasing how Davis was on fire against the Chicago Bulls, his hometown team.

Anthony Davis was fantastic against the Bulls. He scored season-high 37 points, along with 3 assists, and 6 rebounds.
