Anthony Davis was in full superstar mode in Monday night’s Los Angeles Lakers win against the Charlotte Hornets. He finished with 42 points and 23 rebounds on 17-for-28 from the field. He had 21 of those points and 11 of those rebounds in the first quarter alone, making him only the second player in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98) to have a 20-10 quarter.
Davis went to work against Charlotte and had one of his best games of the season. He was hitting from all distances, outworking the Hornets in the paint, and was the true centerpiece of the Lakers offense.
