The two friends and teammates on the U.S. gold-medal winning Olympic basketball team in Paris during the summer had a tense exchange in the heat of the moment Tuesday night, words that Lakers All-Star Anthony Davis and Minnesota All-Star Anthony Edwards meant while the drama was unfolding.
Davis had just scored on Edwards and was fouled on the play early in the third quarter when they came face-to-face with each other, neither backing down.
When asked about that exchange, Davis laughed.
“When he wanted to punch me in the face,” Davis said, smiling.
