Opposing teams have begun to change their defensive strategy against the Los Angeles Lakers in an effort to slow down superstar big man Anthony Davis. Teams are aggressively double-teaming and forcing him to be more of a passer, to which Davis has obliged totaling seven assists in each of the past two games.
Davis’ scoring has dipped significantly in these games, however, as the big man has failed to reach 20 points in those same two contests, including the Lakers’ loss Friday night to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Davis finished with 15 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks and afterwards, head coach JJ Redick credited the Thunder’s defensive game plan for limiting his scoring, though he still felt the star had a great game.
