Anthony Davis was a power to be reckoned with in opposition to the Pistons as he dropped 38 factors and grabbed 16 rebounds to lead the Lakers to their 4th win of the season (128-121).
With LeBron James lacking the recreation due to a left adductor pressure, the 29-year-old ahead loved being the sole chief of the Purple and Gold.
According to Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, AD has to proceed being the leading power when James returns. The entire locker room is aware of that that Davis has to get going for the group to win, he says.
“AD has to be the leading force, the leading charge in terms of how we want to play the inside and outside basketball pressure on the paint, pressure on the rim constantly,” Ham mentioned postgame. “He’s a guy that can carry us through certain segments of the game and obviously we see what he does down the stretch.
“And when Bron gets back, his IQ, he knows we need Anthony playing like that, we need to get Anthony going. Bron is going to do what he needs to do. Russ – same with him. Lonnie, Austin. Our pieces are starting to come to form.
“The biggest thing is we know we have to get AD going. That gives our best chance to be successful. Everyone in that locker room knows that – player, coach, otherwise.”
