Anthony Davis delivered a dominant performance in the LA Lakers’ Game 1 win over the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semi-finals. Fans were in awe of Davis, but some took a few shots at LeBron James, who had a terrible shooting night from beyond the arc.
Davis’ Impressive Performance
Davis ended with 30 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, and four blocks. It was another vintage performance from the eight-time All-Star, who went 11-for-19 from the floor and 8-for-8 from the free-throw line. He continued his spectacular postseason following his dominant series against the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round.
James’ Struggle From Beyond the Arc
Meanwhile, James had 22 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. “The King” struggled with his shot, going 9-for-24 from the field, including 1-for-8 from beyond the arc. Jordan Poole missed the potential game-tying shot with less than seconds left as the Lakers sealed a 117-112 win.
Overall, the Game 1 performance showcased Davis’ continued dominance in the league and highlighted some shortcomings in James’ shooting from beyond the arc. Fans are eager to see how the series unfolds with these two powerhouse teams battling it out in the Western Conference semifinals.
