LeBron James and Steph Curry might be the headliners, but the way this series ultimately ends will likely be determined by how consistently Anthony Davis plays.
LOS ANGELES — Even the most devoted of the diehards, those most strident disciples of Laker Exceptionalism, had to be worried after Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals on Thursday night in San Francisco.
Along the way, I think this has become crystal clear: LeBron James is the Lakers’ headliner, and will remain so as long as he’s here, but this is Anthony Davis’ team. It goes as he goes. If he’s healthy, engaged and hasn’t been neutralized – or at least frustrated into submission by a shrewd defensive plan, as was the case in Game 2 – the Lakers can compete with anybody.
Didn’t matter. Davis was engaged from the beginning, and when he is, the defense that has become the Lakers’ calling card is a beast.
