Anthony Davis Preaches Defense After Lakers Win Game 4; Can Win Championship Friday
The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Miami Heat 102-96 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. on Tuesday night, leading An- thony Davis to emphasize one key for victory: defense.
Davis scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds, but he also blocked four shots in the win. The Lakers kept the Heat to 42.7% shooting as well. Lebron James had 28 points, 12 rebounds and 8 as- sists. Caldwell Pope came up big hhitting a 3 pointer and a layup in the final seconds to seal the win.
Davis talked with re- porters after the game and said that one of the big differences for his Lakers team compared
LEBRON JAMES AND ANTHONY DAVIS
to his past teams is their focus on defense.
Davis is one of the best de- fending big men in the league. And LeBron James, though sometimes lacking in effort, can be a stud on defense when
he hustles and dedicates him- self.
The Lakers lead the best- of-seven series 3-1 and will have a chance to win the cham- pionship in Game 5 on Friday at 7 p.m.
