Anthony Davis showcases his scoring prowess with a remarkable 41 points and demonstrates his dominance on defense as the Lakers conquer the Pacers to claim the NBA Cup.
The contrasts of styles in the game made it clear that without a dominant presence like AD, it was going to be a challenging game. In that particular game, the Lakers' defense was outstanding, to say the least.
For sure. Also, we could say that without Austin Reaves, they probably wouldn't have won… Everyone talks a bit too much about what AD did, and although he deserves as much credit as he can get, Austin Reaves was there too!
It was very exciting to see AD return to his old form from the bubble, and a few games since the IST final, it's nice to see that this form was not a one off high performance for the championship. I am also glad that you mentioned the Pacers bench as they were fun to watch during the game. What is also nice for them is the brief exposure to a playoff atmosphere for such a young performing team.
That's what I loved about the IST, giving primetime exposure to a team that normally doesn't get that kind of viewership, well unless you have NBA pass.
Yes, the entire supporting cast was mentioned in the article, it was an entire team effort, but without AD bringing his A game offensively and defensively they wouldn't have even been in the game.
That was a crazy game. The Lakers pulled away in the end, but the Pacers definitely deserve some credit.
