It would not have been surprising to see the Los Angeles Lakers falter a bit on one of their toughest road trips scheduled during the 2019-20 NBA season, but they exceeded expectations after blowing out the Portland Trail Blazers and sweeping the three-game trip.
Anthony Davis was brilliant in the contest as he finished with 39 points on 12-of-21 shooting while also disrupting Portland’s offense by adding three blocks and two steals.
Davis’ defense has been the talk of the Lakers season so far as his impact on that end has saved them multiple times late in games, but the game against the Blazers was encouraging as he continued the offensive upswing he has been on.
