LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on a put-back for his first points of the game Friday night for the Lakers. His next hoop against Oklahoma City was a 10-foot jumper. Then he scored on a dunk and his next basket came after an offensive rebound that he turned into another dunk.
Davis was feasting against the smaller Thunder early, putting in work in the box, letting them know this was how it was going to be all night long.
He had 15 points in the first quarter, his 6-for-7 shooting a sign of how determined Davis was to help the Lakers reach .500 for the first time this season with a 116-111 victory. He had five rebounds in the first quarter, the two offensive boards showing how aggressive he was going to be in helping the Lakers move into eighth place in the competitive Western Conference.
