The best Anthony Davis was certainly not seen in the game the Lakers lost against the Sacramento Kings 110-125 at home. AD finishes with just 9 points, 3/9 from the field, which makes the team and coach Darvin Ham turn up their noses a bit. It has something to do with it the hip injury recovered last week against the Miami Heat?
According to Anthony Davis, it was just a bad night which however had a heavy impact on the final outcome. If on the other side there is another double-double machine like Domantas Sabonis to keep an eye on, the task is even more complicated. Davis’ direct opponent almost finished with a triple double: 29 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists.
I just played badly, I don’t want to think about anything else… I missed some shots. I played shit, it’s very simple

Right, not all the blame for the Los Angeles Lakers’ defeat should fall on Davis, considering that the yellow and purple found themselves dealing with a 20 point deficit suffered in the first quarter. Closing the gap was practically impossible considering the form of Sabonis, the 28 points with 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals by De’Aaron Fox and the great evening shooting by Kevin Huerter, author of 28 points thanks to an efficient 6/11 from three, 10/16 from the field.
It’s no coincidence though, going back to Anthony Davis, who showed signs of fatigue in movements during the match, that just when their big man is missing, the Lakers suffer defeats: it happened against the Houston Rockets (34 point defeat) last week and it happened again in the derby against the Kings. That injury probably matters a little more than Davis wants to make it seem…
