Anthony Davis hit out at himself for halting the Los Angeles Lakers ’ momentum after the team squandered a chance to get back to .500 for the first time since opening the season schedule with a 112-108 loss to the New York Knicks.
The Lakers made a series of trades before last month's deadline to bolster their chances of making the Play-Offs, but now face missing out entirely. Davis finished with 17 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block on Sunday night, but the 30-year-old missed 10 of his 18 field goal attempts and also missed four out of five free throw attempts.
When asked about the reason for the defeat, Davis didn't hold back, simply responding: "My play. I played terrible. Couldn't find my shot: free throws, layups, everything. The guys did their job. I didn't do my job tonight."
