The Lakers began their first-round series in the playoffs with defeat against the Phoenix Suns and the star, Anthony Davis, took the blame for this result,
“There is no way we will win a game, much less the series with me playing at this level. This loss was my fault and I take full responsibility,” were Davis’ words to Ryan Ward of the Lakers Nation.
13 points and a 5 of 15 from the field were their numbers in this initial duel against the Suns, in a game where the Lakers can also blame their poor performance at the free throw line as the cause of the loss, since they threw a 60.7% (17 of 28).
“The fault of a loss will never be for a single player, but I like that AD puts pressure on himself and knows that we must all improve”, were the words of LeBron James about it.
The second game will be on Tuesday night.
