take the win for L.A. getting the job done when the final buzzer

sounded. Anthony Davis, what a monster game. Final score was 112 to 107 AD, though, 42 points,

0:29.6

23 rebounds. Unbelievable. He was on fire to start the game in the first quarter the first quarter the

0:38.8

Lakers looked great, had all kinds of energy, then they spent the rest of the game trying
