Watch: Anthony Davis Blocks Damian Lillard And Dunks In The Fastbreak

The Los Angeles Lakers play Portland Trail Blazers in the first game of their playoff run. It will be a tough battle, and Lakers players have the best motivation to win the title. The team clinched the No. 1 seed in the early beginning of the NBA resumption in Orlando. They had to find a solution to some of the offensive struggles, and these are nothing but a thing of the past now. LeBron James and his team have been preparing for their postseason throughout the entire summer, and here they are, scoring points for the team. Lakers big man Anthony Davis is brilliant in the game against Portland and he even blocks Damian Lillard for the win.

The Lakers had a 2-1 regular-season series advantage over the Blazers. However, Portland has proven that they have reached a different level in Orlando. Davis and his teammates were focused on this shift as the Lakers were getting ready for the big first-round duel.

Anthony Davis blocks Damian Lillard

LA entered the postseason with a 52-19 record. They clinched the top spot in the West, and adjusted the lineup to perfection. The Trail Blazers had a different story in Orlando and they had to try really hard to earn the eight seed. The team earned a slot for a play-in game against the Memphis Grizzlies to make the postseason. This challenge made the team stronger, and Davis is aware of that.

The Lakers have a regular-season advantage, but Davis knows that the Blazers play a different game in Orlando. They have improved a lot since the last game in January. Let’s not forget that the Blazers won 127-119.

Starting center Jusuf Nurkic joined the team and played really great. He was averaging 17.6 points, 10.3 rebounds and two blocks per game for the Blazers. Davis and his team pay really good attention to that.

Lillard leads the team, and the Blazers will sure give Davis and LeBron a big headache. Both teams will fight for the ultimate win, and NBA fans will have plenty of time watching their action.
