The hit happened with a bit over 15 seconds left in the first half. Davis connected with Green after swinging his arm without regard.

Davis had the most points for the Lakers in the 117-109 victory. He had a whopping 34 points on 15-of-24 shooting and also had 10 rebounds.

“I was really down on myself after Game 1,” Davis said. “I didn’t feel like I performed to the level I needed to. And he let me have my moment and kind of get on myself, and then he talked to me and said I was fine.

“He said it’s one game, and as a guy who’s won multiple championships and been in these situations before, he knows what to expect. He knew what to expect from his teammates, and he kind of just was there for me to kind of encourage me and keep me levelheaded. Because it was just one game.”
