“Every game for us is crucial”: Anthony Davis praises his team’s performance against the Knicks
In the win against the Knicks, Anthony Davis had a bit of an off-night. He recorded 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, doing it on 34.8%. However, with the performances he has been putting up, this standalone shouldn’t worry Lakers fans. In fact, there is enough reason for those supporting the franchise to feel highly encouraged.
Despite AD misfiring, the game ended 101-99 in LA’s favor. And it is the team’s supporting cast that made it happen. Kyle Kuzma in particular was very impressive.
He had 23 points, off the bench, on 52.9% from the field and 50% from three. Talen Horton Tucker also showed out, grabbing 10 assists, and 13 points, three o which came from his game-winner.
Overall, an incredible performance from the team as a whole. And Anthony Davis made sure to point that out. Take a listen.
“We’re fighting to get into the playoffs, and not playing in the play-in…Every game for us is crucial. Guys came out and left it all on the floor.”
This is a very encouraging time for the team. Not only do they finally have some momentum, but their record (39-30), is incredibly close to the 6th seeded Mavericks (40-29). Keep this up, and the franchise gives itself a massive chance to enter the playoffs directly, rather than take part in the play-in tournament.
