Anthony Davis Says Lakers Have ‘Chance to do Something Special’ After Dominating Blazers in Game 2

The Los Angeles Lakers dismantled the Portland Trail Blazers in game 2 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. These playoffs look a bit different from what we are used to as fans. The bubble is definitely having an impact everything surrounding the playoffs.

Anthony Davis is one of the biggest reasons for the win last night. He has a great game and was a huge part of the Lakers’ success all season. If the Lakers want to continue this high level play, they will need him to continue to show up like this.

Davis said that the Lakers “have a chance to do something special.” This could be true but they will need to keep doing what they are doing if they want this to happen. If they decide to play like they did in game 1 again, they will continue to struggle.

“We have got a chance to do something special this year,” Davis said. “All LeBron (James) and (Rajon) Rondo talk about is, ‘it doesn’t come around often’, when you have a great team that can compete for a championship. We want to take advantage of our opportunities and this team we have and try to reach our goal – that’s to win.

“We wanted to come out aggressive tonight and play with a sense of desperation – we did that. Guys made shots tonight and shot the ball with a lot of confidence. We played with a sense of urgency and were able to get the win.”

They were obviously upset in the first game and Davis explained that they did not want to go down 0-2.

“You never want to go down 0-2 in a series. Our mantra this entire season has been ‘never lose two in a row’ – that was our mindset coming into the game,” he said.

The Lakers are one of the favorites to win a title this year so this game should not be surprising. What do you think about what Anthony Davis had to say about the game?
