WASHINGTON — On back-to-back possessions, as a sizeable Laker lead threatened to buckle, Anthony Davis stepped in.
On the first, he launched a 3-pointer from the top of the key. On the next, he took a razor-sharp feed from Russell Westbrook and finished with an and-one layup that slowly circled the rim before finally falling in as Davis wagged a finger.
After two injury-plagued seasons, the 29-year-old is back to the dominant big man who helped lead the Lakers to a title. And he’s making it look easy out there.
