Although he had a poor offensive outing in Game 2 of the Los Angeles Lakers’ playoff series against the Memphis Grizzlies, Anthony Davis has been getting the job done overall.
He registered 22 points, 12 rebounds, seven blocked shots and three steals in Game 1, blocked five shots in Game 2 and had his best game on Saturday with 31 points, 17 boards and three rejections.
In total, Davis has accumulated 66 points, 38 rebounds and 15 blocks over the first three games against the Grizzlies.
In doing so, he has joined Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon and Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the only players in NBA history to put up at least 65 points, 35 rebounds and 15 blocks in the first three games of a postseason.
Davis has some lackluster offensive games from time to time, especially when opponents consistently double-team him, but when he plays the way he did in Game 1 and Game 3, the Lakers are very tough to beat and possibly a legitimate championship contender.
