Anthony Davis has big game as Lakers defeat Pistons

LA Times  

Early in the second half of a mostly lopsided game Tuesday night, Austin Reaves tried to flip the ball behind his back to LeBron James. In the Lakers’ final home game before the All-Star break, Davis dominated all over the court, shooting, scoring, passing and defending as his team beat the lowly Pistons 125-111. Davis downplayed the Defensive Player of the Year talk — an award he’s never won despite being regarded as one of the best all-around defenders in the game when healthy. I’m really happy about where we are and where we’re trending.” Lakers forward Anthony Davis gets an inside position on a defensive rebound against Shake Milton in the first half. “But to have seven assists and play off the ball, play on the ball, he was really good for us.” The Lakers had 32 assists as a team, the 12th time they’ve had 30 or more in their last 18 games.
