Summary
The Los Angeles Lakers host the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. The game comes just hours after the Lakers lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers are trying to avoid the play-in tournament. The No. 7 seed Lakers face a 1-0 deficit against the No. 2 seed Denver Nuggets.
Anthony Davis was not selected for the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year award. Davis was one of the key players in the Lakers' 128-124 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Davis had 23 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals in the win. The Lakers face the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 on Saturday.
Nikola Jokic had a monster night -- 32 points on 15-for-23 shooting, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. Davis' 2.3 blocks per game ranked fourth in the league. Joki nearly equaled the number of field goals he made in last year's entire conference finals.
"If you're able to stand out defensively, I think it's more credit to you," Davis says. "There's not a lot of guys who are defending" "My focus is doing the standard for my team defensively and helping us win a championship," he says.
