That's the best game of Davis so far this season, Dropping 55 points is already impressive, but adding 17 rebounds? come on, this guy was possessed, he will be playing like this, Lakers will likely win the NBA Finals again.
I haven't seen their game today but I watch the highlights and it is as if Davis has become his old self again he is completely outscoring his rival in that game and Porzingis cannot stop him from scoring in the paint as well. The thing is, he always gets a good feed from his teammates especially when he is close to the basket. Most likely if they played such a high-level performance, there's no problem with them climbing to the playoff tree and competing in the NBA playoffs this season, and with this another win, they climb up to number 12 in the western conference.
Right, it seems that Davis has found his second wind in his career, although he is still young, he seems to be damage and prone to injury.
But in the last 10 games, he has rejuvenated his career even has a string of 30+ points and 10+ rebounds. Now he has 55 points with 17 boards. We haven't seen the numbers for a big man for years. Not sure Dwight Howard did it the last time or Shaq, but definitely, in the last couple of seasons, this number is unheard of. Now they are slowly climbing up in ranks so that is a good thing to see for the Lakers But they still need to at least go number 8 before the all star break.
