The Los Angeles Lakers have taken a 1-0 lead in their best of-seven Western Conference semifinal against the Golden State Warriors with a big 117-112 road win.
In a clash that was billed as LeBron James back against Steph Curry, it was the King’s LA teammate Anthony Davis who put on a show at the Chase Center. With LeBron far from his best, the 6-foot-10-inch big dominated against the smaller Warriors and put up a game-high 30 points to go with 23 rebounds and five assists to lead his side to a vital series opener win.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was full of praise for ‘The Brow’ after he shut down his squad: “I thought AD had a great game. Obviously, he dominated and he got blocked four shots and altered some others. “That’s what this team has been doing now for the last few months. They have been one of the best defensive teams in the league for a reason and he’s a huge part of that.
