Anthony Davis’ debut game, 37 points and 10 rebounds versus the Spurs at Wembanyama: his impression
Anthony Davis was baptized by Victor Wembanyama in the second quarter when he ran to grab a ball from the Frost Bank Center ceiling and nail it to the basket. Imagine that AD then scored 37 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to help the Lakers beаt the Spurs 122-119.
Davis, who led without LeBron James, saw Wembanyama’s generational skill and double double of 30 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 blocks. The first-round pick has always loved to be familiar with the NBA game, and Davis is refining his shot (13/23 from the field, 2/3 from three).
Despite pressure, he can play. He made some impressive 3-pointers and blocks. I enjoyed competing against him, a generational talent.

The Lakers’ success goes beyond Anthony Davis. Only Taureaun Prince scored 17 in the starting five, surpassing Austin Reaves’ 15 off the bench. Rui Hachimura scored 13 points, 10 for Cam Reddish, with 3 assists and 3 steals.
Everyone knew they had to improve, not just myself. The team performed well: Reaves, Russell, Hachimura provided leadership and paint presence. We prepared.

Win over San Antonio moves the Lakers to 5th in the Western Conference with a 15-10 record, while the Spurs (3-20) will tank and compete with the Detroit Pistons to finish worse.
