He only played one half, but Anthony Davis just kept pulling tricks out of his bag in his first game with the purple and gold.
Davis dominated the Lakers’ preseason opener from start to finish, hitting his team’s first bucket and never relenting. In just 18 minutes of action, Davis piled up 22 points and 10 rebounds while showing many of the skills that make him such a unique talent.
“He’s such a versatile threat offensively,” head coach Frank Vogel said. “He can beat you with step-back jumpers, 3-point shots, drives from the perimeter — but he’s also one of the best rim-finishers in the game.
