Anthony Davis Had Message For Rest Of NBA After Big Block
ANTHONY DAVIS
Anthony Davis had a message for the rest of the NBA after sealing the Los An- geles Lakers’ win on Monday night.
The Lakers were holding a narrow 93-89 lead over the Denver Nuggets with around 15 seconds remaining. Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic gave the ball to Fa- cundo Compazzo, who seemed to be wide open. Compazzo attempted a 3- pointer, but Davis came out of nowhere to block it.
The block by Davis helped the Lakers seal the 93-89 win. Davis could be seen say- ing “we’re back” after the vic-
tory.
That’s big.
The Lakers had lost three in a row and were in a tie for the No. 7 spot entering Mon- day’s game. Getting a win over a quality team like the Nuggets is important. It shows the Lakers, despite dealing with injuries to Davis and LeBron James, can still get important wins when nec- essary.

A horse named after Bre- onna Taylor and owned by the lawyer who represented her family against the Louisville Metro Police De- partment, won the fourth race last Thursday at Churchill Downs during Ken- tucky Derby week.
Breonna, trained by Steve Margolis, rode to vic- tory in the six-furlong race under jockey Corey Lanerie on a muddy track as rain pelted Louisville.
She lead nearly wire to wire, opening the gap con-
vincingly in the final stretch, with the announcer saying: "And it is Breonna, bounding home!"
Breonna is owned by JS Stables, LLC, a thoroughbred horse racing operation owned and operated by lawyer Sam Aguiar and his wife, Janelle. The Aguiars weren't at the track Thursday for the race.
But Sam Aguiar said he watched the race in his office with his law partner Lonita Baker and Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer.
