Anthony Davis shot only twice from the court in Los Angeles Lakers’ loss to the Cavaliers 114-100.
It was Lakers’ seventh loss of the season in nine games.
Per ESPN, “Obviously, it starts with AD and getting him more touches,” LeBron James said afterward. “Our focal point is and always should be to make sure he touches the ball throughout the course of possessions, quarters, halves.”
Davis was 4-for-5 from the field in the first quarter as the Lakers outscored an opponent (36-30) in the opening frame for the first time all season. Then Davis was just 1-for-2 in the second half as the Lakers scored 36 points in the third and fourth quarters combined.
It was the second straight game in which Davis’ output plummeted after halftime. In Friday’s blowout loss to the Utah Jazz, he scored two points on 1-for-4 shooting after the break, souring a night that started with him scoring 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting in the first half.
Davis declined to speak to reporters after Sunday’s loss.
