Anthony Davis talks about when he knew LeBron James would have a BIG Night

After the game, Anthony Davis was asked how does the team adjust when LeBron James is having a big night. AD wittily replied by saying, ‘we just get out of the way’.

Anthony Davis spoke about how it was LeBron’s first game at home, and how after the first quarter itself, AD knew it was going to be a big performance from LeBron. In the interview, Davis also said,

“Late in the game, I think, he hit three threes, got to the basket, got the steal for the dunk. He was everywhere on the floor. Making shots from everywhere. After the first quarter, I knew it’s going to be a good night for him.”
