Anthony Davis' dominant 40-point game has LA Lakers fans ecstatic
Anthony Davis came up big once again on Sunday night as he flirted with a double-double by putting up 40 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks. His 40-point outing marks his third consecutive 38-point game since March 29 when the LA Lakers beat the Chicago Bulls 121-110.
LeBron James also made his mark in their victory over the Houston Rockets as he put up a triple-double. James added 18 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. The Lakers are now on a roll as they improve their record to 40-38. If the LA Clippers end up losing their next game while the Lakers win, the Purple and Gold will grab the sixth seed in the West, ensuring their spot in the playoffs.
LA Lakers fans are now hyped up and are giving Anthony Davis his flowers for bringing the team back from the ashes of the Western Conference. Here's what some of them had to say:
