The Lakers continue to embarrass themselves in Orlando. The Indiana Pacers beat them 116-111 last night to add to their misery. While T. J. Warren is on a roll since season’s resumption, Lakers bigs haven’t been the best duo these nights. Specifically, Anthony Davis looks lost in the bubble with his inconsistent play.

It was Davis’ fourth single-digit game in this season, two out of which were created after the restart. He managed only 8 points last night and was shooting a disappointing 3/14 from the field.

He has had ups and downs with his numbers, and it is evident with his performances. Recently, he has been trying to convert more from outside the paint that has made things rough. The game inside it is what defines Davis. He probably needs to get back at it.

The game was led by T. J. Warren with 39 points, who’s having a good time out there this season. He was supported by significant contributions from Malcolm Brogdon.

Pacers’ men were at it, but Lakers were solely reliant on LeBron James, who bagged 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists in the game. Well, his partner wasn’t at his best, so he had to step up.

Anthony Davis himself admitted his underperformance and owned up to the loss against Pacers.

“It is on me,” Davis said after the game. “I had some good looks tonight, just missed shots around the rim, the layup that I missed, open 3s missed, open mid-range shot. Shot just not going in.”
