Anthony Davis Reacts to Lakers' Losing Streak vs. Nuggets
After being swept by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers are now 0-3 against them this season. When asked about this after Saturday night's loss to Denver, and if the Lakers feel they are closer to getting over the hump vs. Denver, Anthony Davis gave an extensive response on this dynamic:
"In a sense," Davis said. "Because they do the same thing and they beat us with it every time. Yes we're getting closer, as far as the first 42 minutes, or you could say even 44 minutes. And then that last four minutes it's just them getting to what they get to, and they make us pay on our mistakes, like I said. Granted, they made tough shots. But they get to it every time, and you know it's coming. But they're a great execution team, you make one mistake with Jamal Murray's scoring and passing ability, and same with Jokic, and then you have shooters around. Aaron Gordon on the glass ducking into smalls if I go help, which they get to a lot with the lob. And then behind that they put a shooter in that corner, so it's like pick your poison. They do a great job making reads."
While most of these games have been close, Denver always finds a way to execute down the stretch to put the Lakers away.
