The Lakers are trying to find their groove again after a terrible loss against the Phoenix Suns in Game 1. In fact, they were the ones that looked like underdogs throughout the match. The Suns have proved to be a tough competitor in the race to the NBA championship but it seems like LeBron James and Co. are slowly turning the tables in Game 2. More so, a jumper by Anthony Davis has him trending on Twitter.
Jae Crowder gets in between Anthony Davis and his shot
This is no ordinary jumper. Why, you ask? Well, has anyone ever seen a jumper that has resulted in kicking the rival between the legs? If not, here is a chance to witness it. Just eleven minutes into the first quarter with no points from the Suns or the Lakers, AD comes face to face with Jae Crowder to take the first shot.
Just a few steps inside the arc, AD takes flight and while doing that, he lets one of his legs loose, and Crowder gets caught in the crossfire. That too between his legs.
By the looks of it, the kick looked brutal as Jae was seen dropping down on the floor with pain. With that, AD gets a flagrant foul so early in the game. Looks like AD was taking the ‘Going all in for the win’ way too seriously.
What game 1 looked like vs how Game 2 is turning out
While watching Game 1, the Lakers looked absolutely defeated in every aspect. From shooting 43% from the field and a meager 26% from the arc, to being beaten 47 to 33 even in rebounds was shameful. The purple and gold struggled to contain Devin Booker who dropped 37 points on them. Along with him, DeAndre Ayton matched it with his 27 points and monstrous 16 rebounds alone.
This duo was just too good against LeBron and Anthony Davis. In fact, one can actually label the first game as one of Bron’s worst playoff games. Not only that but AD himself contributed just a putrid 13 points. However, the Lakers seem like this time they have gotten the hang of it and are fighting better.
LeBron has a pattern of losing the first game but always rallies back. Fans can only hope that this holds true as the Suns trail them in the first quarter. However, can the Lakers maintain this lead in the rest of the game too, and tie the series?
