In one of his greatest games as a Laker, Anthony Davis stepped up in a massive way in Game 1 against the Warriors. Davis was dominant from start to finish on both ends of the court as the Lakers stole home court with a 117-112 victory over Golden State.

To finish off the victory after an impressive first half, Davis played the entire second half. And while he certainly looked tired late in the game, he still made plays defensively and helped the Lakers to the huge win.

It was the fifth time in his time with the Lakers he’s played the entire second half of a game and only the second playoff game, the other coming in the bubble.
