SAN FRANCISCO -- In the final 90 seconds of Game 1 of the Los Angeles Lakers' second-round series against the Golden State Warriors, Anthony Davis blocked a layup by Stephen Curry and corralled a rebound off a Jordan Poole miss to put the finishing touches on L.A.'s 117-112 win Tuesday night.
The sequence would have been notable enough had it just helped to squelch the defending champions' furious 14-0 rally to tie the game that preceded it.
The fact that it came after Davis played every single minute of the second half, posting a final line of 30 points, 23 rebounds, five assists and four blocks to allow the Lakers to steal home court in the opening game of a second consecutive Western Conference playoff series, made it monumental.
