Neither truly occurred.

The multitaskers within the constructing simply watched Freddie Freeman’s good left-handed swing ship a baseball over the Dodger Stadium wall, the World Sequence Sport 1 walk-off getting Crypto.com Area as loud because it had been all evening.

Then, it was the Lakers’ flip to ignite that pleasure.

Just kind of … opens up the floor for me. We put in a lot of good schemes where we open the floor for myself, [James], [Austin Reaves], [D’Angelo Russell]. And we just operate, make the right play.”

Davis scored 35 factors after scoring 36 within the opener towards the Minnesota Timberwolves, back-to-back dominant video games towards two of the Western Convention favorites.

“He’s been doing this,” Reaves stated. “It’s not [abnormal] for him to do what he’s been doing. I feel like he’s the best player on our team. And we played through him. And he’s such a high-level talent that I expect him to go out every single night and be dominant. So what he’s been doing is kind of, it’s unreal obviously, but I expect him to go dominate the game in many facets.”

Not like the opener, the Lakers gave Davis air assist from the surface, making 14 of 27 pictures from three-point vary, together with 13 for 22 after the primary quarter. They withstood the Suns’ scorching capturing early to start their climb again into the sport beginning late within the second.

“Same thing I’ve seen from AR since he got here,” James stated. “Just an ultra-competitor, makes big-time shots and doesn’t shy away from the moment.”

Coach JJ Redick went additional.

“I knew he was good,” Redick stated of Reaves. “I didn’t realize he was this good. He’s a fantastic basketball player.”

Davis’ blocked shot simply earlier than halftime gave the Lakers momentum into the third quarter when James and Reaves obtained scorching from deep and opened the within for Davis.

James helped seal the sport late with two assists — one to Gabe Vincent for a layup and one to Rui Hachimura for a 3 — to get the gang to pop once more. James completed with 21 factors and eight assists.

However none of it was fairly just like the roar after Freeman went deep.

“I thought they were cheering for me,” Reaves stated. “I didn’t know what was going on, to be honest. And then I looked up on the screen and seeing him hit that nuke.”
