The Spurs had no answer for Anthony Davis in their Sunday afternoon loss. The Lakers’ big man ran roughshod over whatever defenders were in his path en route to 34 points on 24 shots with 15 rebounds and 6 assists. His performance wasn’t exactly unexpected though, as the Spurs center rotation currently consists of only Drew Eubanks and Thaddeus Young. Each brings valuable talents to the table, but defending Anthony Davis one-on-one certainly isn’t among them.
To be fair, there are very few defenders in the league who can, but it’s also fair to say neither Drew nor Thad should bear the brunt of the blame for Davis’ fireworks.
