Lakers’ Anthony Davis Recounts His First Game Winner Against OKC & Most Memorable Lobs [Watch
Los Angeles Lakers champion Anthony Davis was recently named the NBA’s top 75 teams last month. The team will be honored during halftime of this year’s All-Star Game in Cleveland, Ohio.
Recently, Davis sat down with NBA Philippines to discuss his first game-winner and some of his most memorable lobs.
“I think this was my first game-winner in 2015, against OKC. The game-winner is the three at the top of the key. The funny thing about this game-winner was that it led into the playoffs. So, New Orleans and OKC were tied at the end of the regular season and this game-winner actually gave us the tie-breaker,” said Davis.
The Lakers and Anthony Davis are playing the Sacramento Kings tonight at Crypto.com Arena as they look to get their first win at home since the arena’s name change.
