With LeBron James out of the lineup, Anthony Davis had a monster night to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a win and season sweep over the Sacramento Kings, finishing with 36 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists on an efficient 12-of-16 shootings.
In the midst of that performance though, Davis was unhappy with the Lakers’ defense. They went into the halftime locker room trailing 66-65 and head coach JJ Redick revealed after the game that Davis challenged the team to be better defensively in the second half.
They responded by giving up just 24 points in the third quarter to open up a big lead, which was enough to hang on for the win.
