Davis hit the shot over Nuggets big man, Nikola Jokic and during his post-game interview, Jokic stated: “They have AD who is probably the best scorer in the league.”

A seven-time NBA All-Star, Davis finished the game with 31 points and shot 11-of-23 from the field, 2-of-4 from beyond the arc and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line.

Davis was traded from the New Orleans Pelicans to the Lakers in a blockbuster trade last summer.

A native of Chicago, Illinois, Davis, 27, was the first overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft out of Kentucky. While at Kentucky, he won a National Championship under head coach John Calipari. He also won an Olympic gold medal with Team U.S.A. Basketball under head coach Mike Krzyzewski. The next natural progression is for Davis’ to win an NBA Championship with Lakers teammates LeBron James, Dwight Howard, and Kyle Kuzma. “This is the year,” Anthony Davis told NBA Insider, Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson.

“That’s the main goal. That’s our goal and we are going to come in with the mindset that we’re all thinking.”

Davis and the Lakers resume play on Tuesday in Game 3 against the Nuggets.
