Anthony Davis has been showing impressive performances this season with his already-established scoring abilities, among other skills. He ended his game with 28 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists.
According to CBS Sports, James, who posted 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, shared about the All-Star teammate, Russell, “He’s learning from me how to pass out of the post. He’s been working on it and it’s great. Teams are going to stop doubling him soon. As long as we make shots out there for him. It’s our job to make sure we are in the right position at the right time when he gets doubled.”
Austin Reaves ended the game by scoring 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists. Davis, regarding the win, shared, “When guys are open, we’re throwing them the ball and tell them to shoot it. It’s not like we’re going out and being selfish with the shots. We’re having fun while we’re doing it and making the right plays.”
From the Mavericks side, Luka Doncic, their power player, posted a triple-double team-high score of 33 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists. Dereck Lively II ended his game with 16 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 assists. Kyrie Irving added 12 points to the tally, including 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
