Anthony Davis was the best player on the court for the LA Lakers in their Game 6 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. But how did Davis manage to become the best player of the game despite taking only nine shots?

Davis was flat out dominant on the defensive end for the Lakers the entire game. He finished with 13 defensive rebounds and five blocked shots. He halted every chance of the Grizzlies to regain the momentum by either blocking a shot or altering an attempt.

The eight-time All-Star looked like his old self despite a couple of injury scares in the game. He finished with a total of 16 points, with D'Angelo Russell leading the way on the offensive end. Russell had a game-high 31 points on 12-for-17 shooting from the field, including 5-for-9 from beyond the arc.

LeBron James contributed 22 points, five rebounds and six assists, while Austin Reaves had 11 points, six rebounds and eight assists. Jarred Vanderbilt hit three time 3-point shots that helped halt runs for Memphis.

The LA Lakers will face either the Sacramento Kings or the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals. The Kings and Warriors are tied at 3-3-, with Game 7 scheduled on Sunday.
