SAN ANTONIO —
Anthony Davis knows the pressure, the need to turn things around for a franchise after they invest a top pick in you.
He also knows that the Spurs had lost 17-straight games heading into Wednesday, rookie Victor Wembanyama’s presence resulting in occasional highlights surrounded by typical rookie struggles.
He’s been there before. Wednesday, he made sure this year’s top pick wouldn’t escape.
Davis continued a run of dominant basketball, leading the Lakers to a 122-119 win on the second night of a back-to-back with LeBron James out, nursing his sore calf.
