Anthony Davis Sends Message To D’Angelo Russell After Lakers Defeat Suns

The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t missed a beat except for the loss to their city rivals. Players celebrated another win over the Phoenix Suns, taking another step to the playoffs. Will the Lakers make the play-in tournament? Anthony Davis praised Lakers teammate D’Angelo Russell following the win over the Suns and fans will definitely agree with him on this one.

“We’re not going to always shoot the ball well,” the Lakers big man said. “Bron struggled tonight, I struggled tonight shooting the ball. But we have a complete team. Beas [Michael Beasley] shot the ball pretty well. D-LO, Troy [Brown Jr.], [and] Austin [Reaves]. The depth on our team is really strong where Bron has 16, I had 14, and we were still able to get a very convincing win.”

Russell earned these words of praise. He finished the game with 24 points, three rebounds, and three assists on 9-of-14 shooting from the floor and 6-of-9 shooting from behind the three-point line. Davis’ numbers weren’t too spectacular. He delivered 14 points, 21 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks on 4-of-12 shooting from the field and 0-of-1 shooting from distance.

The Lakers are close to the big game. They have a real chance to make the playoffs and hopefully, win a title. Lakers fans have high hopes for the season.

“Well, I mean, there’s nobody that they can really just key on,” LeBron said. “They can’t just key on AD. They can’t just key on me. When you have Beas [Beasley] shooting the way he was shooting tonight. You got D-Lo shooting the ball at a high rate. You got AR, who’s been playing exceptional all season. Just keeps the defense always at bay.”
