Heading into the highly anticipated second-round matchup between the Lakers and Warriors, the hype centered around yet another postseason meeting between two all-time greats in LeBron James and Stephen Curry. When the final whistle sounded at Chase Center on Tuesday night, though, it was big man Anthony Davis who stole the show.
Davis erupted for 30 points and 23 rebounds—both game highs—to spearhead a 117–112 Los Angeles victory, stealing home court advantage from the defending champions.
James finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, while Curry had a team-high 27 points on 10-for-24 shooting from the field.
