#3 LA Lakers' Anthony Davis vs Denver Nuggets - Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals - NBA Playoffs
Anthony Davis' solid and dominant play from Game 1 of the 2020 Western Conference Finals against the Denver Nuggets transcended into Game 2, and the LA Lakers secured a 2-0 lead.
Although he did not have his best night shooting from the field in the first half, Davis came firing on all cylinders for the second half, which was a usual Anthony Davis performance during the entire 2020 NBA Playoffs.
A 22-point second half for Anthony Davis kept the LA Lakers in the game, and it was the main reason why the team overcame LeBron James' unusual lackluster second half.
With the Nuggets and Jokic throwing their best punches at the LA Lakers in the fourth quarter, Anthony Davis' 10 points on 3/4 from the field and 2/2 from three was key to another LA Lakers' win.
The LA Lakers found themselves down by one point twice in the final minute but Anthony Davis refused to let them lose and made two go-ahead baskets in the final 30 seconds, including the game-winning three with the clock expiring and LA down by one.
#2 LA Lakers' Anthony Davis vs Miami Heat - Game 1 of the 2020 NBA Finals - NBA Playoffs
Although dropping Game 2 of the WCF to Denver was going to be a dangerous situation for the LA Lakers and their NBA Playoffs run, performing at an extremely high level in his first NBA Finals game is definitely deserving of praise.
Anthony Davis' first NBA Finals game was big. Many analysts wondered before the NBA Playoffs if he had it in him to perform under pressure, and he surely answered those questions.
In his first finals game, Davis led the LA Lakers to an easy win over the Miami Heat with 34 points (11/21 from the field), nine rebounds, five assists and three blocks.
#1 LA Lakers' Anthony Davis vs Miami Heat - Game 2 of the 2020 NBA Finals - NBA Playoffs
In Game 2 of the 2020 NBA Finals, Anthony Davis continued his hot streak of the NBA Playoffs and performed at a high level for the LA Lakers again.
An elite player, Anthony Davis joined stellar company after scoring at least 30 points in the first two NBA Finals of his career (Hal Greer, Rick Barry, Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant before him).
In Game 2, the short-handed Miami Heat (missing all-star Bam Adebayo and the team's leading scorer in the NBA Playoffs, Goran Dragic) came out fighting and refused to give up another loss as in Game 1.
However, Anthony Davis kept the pressure on and already had 30 points at the 4:36 minute marc of the third quarter, with the LA Lakers up by 18 points.
Davis finished the game with 32 points, making 15 of 20 shots from the field and 14 rebounds.
Guess the Lakers players!
