Anthony Davis is giving the Lakers some MVP-level play to lean on.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Anthony<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers are going with gamesmanship under JJ Redick\u2018s stewardship this season.\u00a0Anthony Davis\u00a0is going in the record books, right next to an\u00a0MVP-ghosting Kobe Bryant, after another huge 35-point performance to help the Lakers pull out a 123-116 win over the Phoenix Suns. Davis had 36 points in a season-opening win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, giving the All-NBA big man pole position in the NBA MVP race.<\/p>\n

Bryant\u00a0scored two 30-point games to start the 2005-06 NBA season. AD matched that and then some against Kevin Durant’s Suns. Against Phoenix, Davis became only the third Lakers star with consecutive 35-point games to start a season in franchise history. This feat\u00a0puts him in a rare class with Elgin Baylor (1962) and Jerry West (1969),\u00a0per Dave McMenamin.<\/p>\n

Davis added eight rebounds, four assists, and two blocks along with those 35 points.\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0contributed 21 points, eight assists, and four rebounds to secure the win. Austin Reaves (26 points, eight rebounds, four assists) snatched three steals and looks like a perfect fit as the third option so far this season as well. The Lakers erased a 22-point deficit and look like a dominant force in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

JJ Redick’s Lakers look just fine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Lakers are trying to squeeze every last drop of sweat out of Lebron’s legacy. James, with his son Bronny now on the team, is looking and feeling better than the past two seasons. Having JJ Redick replace Darvin Ham has to be considered one of the boldest gambits of late, and it is paying immediate dividends.<\/p>\n

James is even\u00a0talking about playing\u00a0all 82 games this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI plan on playing every game,\u201d declared James. \u201cWe will see what happens if I don’t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Redick just so happens to think coaching James and Davis is the\u00a0best decision ever made\u00a0by the 15-year NBA veteran. It is easy to see why after the first 2-0 start this decade. The Lakers will look to keep the momentum going against the Sacramento Kings to finish out a three-game home stand. Then it is off to Phoenix for a rematch against the Suns. It will be impossible to count Los Angeles out if Davis keeps up this level of play.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
