” He’s been a monster since the start of the season, but especially in the last three games. He is like that, everyone knows it. “Austin Reaves does not seem more surprised than that by his teammate, Anthony Davis. The latter, after his release with 37 points and 18 rebounds on Sunday against the Nets, continued against the Pistons tonight.
His state of mind before this meeting? ” Trying to dominate in the racket. The inside did better than try against Jalen Duren and the other young Pistons insides. Again orphaned by LeBron James, “AD” thus took the vast majority of his shots in the racket. And caused a bunch of fouls that allowed him to get to the free throw line… 21 times (18/21)!
We will also remember his huge end of the game during which he took advantage of the good balls of Lonnie Walker IV and Russell Westbrook to register… the last 12 points of his team, with three dunks.
“ Others have found me in areas I like. I tried to control the offensive rebound to get extra possessions, to play with a lot of pace and energy on both ends of the court. I took a long time to start, I put that down to the defeat of my Packers last night, which upset me a bit. But I knew how to find myself and be dominant “, describes the player, who still alludes to his favorite NFL team.
Domination embodied by his 38 points (10/16 on shots), 16 rebounds and 4 blocks for 48 evaluation.
It’s the first time since February that he’s had two games with 30 or more points. Anthony Davis feels like ” find your rhythm ” bearing in mind the message passed internally from the training camp: “ Power AD “.
“ We have to chain victories to get back in the race, but we have to take the matches one after the other. We have won two games in a row after five defeats, we cannot neglect our opponents. We have to prepare for the next game, against Indiana I think. “Failed, it is against the Spurs, Sunday.
