Even though the Los Angeles Lakers have been struggling for much of December, Anthony Davis has been playing his best ball of the season during the holiday season.
So far in December, he’s averaging 28.9 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots a game while shooting 54.2% from the field. Even better, his 3-point shot, which has been missing in action over the past two or three seasons, seems to be back. He’s hitting 47.1% of his 1.5 3-point attempts per game so far this month.
In Thursday’s blowout win over the Charlotte Hornets, Davis scored 26 points in just 26 minutes, and he put on a show with a number of highlight dunks.
