After the Los Angeles Lakers won the In-Season Tournament Championship Game against the Indiana Pacers, LeBron James and Anthony Davis got sincerely honest about playing with each other.
Against the Pacers, Davis had 41 points, 20 rebounds, five assists and four blocks, while LeBron had 24 points, 11 rebounds and four assists.
“I feel like when we are on the floor together and we’re healthy, we know what we’re capable of doing,” LeBron said. “We’ve played too many games together, shared too many moments together, played in too many big moments together to fail each other. It’s been everything, like I said, especially at the later stage of my career.”
Davis shot 16-of-24 from the field and 9-of-13 from the free-throw line versus the Pacers. Meanwhile, LeBron shot 10-of-21 overall and 4-of-5 from the foul line.
