Anthony Davis after Lakers’ loss in Game 1 vs Suns: This is on me. I take full responsibility

Anthony Davis took full responsibility for Lakers loss in Game 1 against the Phoenix Suns.

Per ESPN, “There’s no way we’re winning a game, let alone a series, with me playing the way that I played,” Davis said after finishing with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks. “So, I mean, this is on me. I take full responsibility, for sure.

“We’ll be better Game 2.”

Davis missed 11 of his 16 field goal attempts, and the visiting Lakers were outscored by 18 points in the 39 minutes he played, giving him the worst plus-minus on the team.

He said that L.A.’s hot start — the Lakers built their biggest lead of the game when they went up 15-10 just 4½ minutes into the first quarter — lessened his personal urgency.

“Usually, I come out the gates very dominant, and I think tonight, or today, we had it going,” Davis said. “So, I kind of just got lost in the offense. But I still have to be assertive and find ways to get the ball.

“It just kind of took me out of rhythm, but that’s on me. I still got to find ways to make plays on that end of the floor, offensively. So, like I said, it’s on me. I’m not too worried about my performance. I know I’ll be better. I know we’ll be better in Game 2.”
