“I think he was just himself in the fourth quarter,” James said of Davis. “(Tuesday) was a tough day for us, coming off that loss, but we had a lot of conversations about how we could be better, especially in the fourth quarter, and AD is a big part of that. … He’s too big-time for our team not to have the ball in his hands.”
LeBron James led the way for the Lakers. James scored 31 points on 12-for-18 shooting from the field. James knocked down 6-8 from behind the three-point line. James also grabbed seven rebounds and dished out eight assists. The Lakers’ Head Coach had strong praise for James postgame.
