Anthony Davis continued his impressive performance in the Lakers’ victory over Phoenix on Friday, dominating the court once again.
He scored a game-high 35 points, bringing his total to 71 points over the first two games of the season, both of which the Lakers won.
According to head coach J.J. Redick, the strategy to center the offense around Davis is proving effective, and LeBron James agrees with this approach.
“It’s very important that he’s the main focal point for us every single night,” James remarked, as noted by Dave McMenamin of ESPN. He emphasized the necessity of integrating Davis into the offense effectively, saying,
“We know what he’s going to do defensively, but offensively we have to find him in multiple places on the floor throughout the whole game. And we’ve done that through two games.”
James highlighted the importance of finding Davis in various spots on the court, underlining how crucial it is for the team’s success that Davis remains actively involved in the offense.
With two solid wins to start the season, the Lakers appear to be successfully implementing their game plan, ensuring that Davis’s scoring prowess is consistently leveraged to maximize their offensive output.
As the season progresses, maintaining this focus on Davis could be key to the Lakers’ overall performance and aspirations for a successful campaign.
