He’s playing pain-free and with great rhythm – Darvin Ham lauds Anthony Davis after win against Golden State Warriors

 

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham has showered praise on Anthony Davis after the talisman continued his good form. Davis top-scored for the Lakers with 39 points as they defeated Golden State Warriors by 113-105 on Sunday night.

In fact, Davis had scored 38 points in a losing match against Minnesota Timberwolves. On the other hand, Steph Curry made a return for the Dubs and top-scored with 27 points but he ended on a losing side.

Meanwhile, Davis was at his best as he scored 12 points in the fourth quarter to snap a five-match winning streak of GSW.

“He’s in a very great place right now,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said as quoted by AP. “He has the unwillingness to settle and is staying in attack mode. He’s playing pain-free and with great rhythm. We also have different pieces around him he can play off at a high level.”

Davis revealed that he is trying to be more aggressive in his game and wants to make the right plays for his teammates.

“I’m trying to be a little bit more aggressive. Also trying to make the right plays for guys to get to their points because it is going to open the floor for me even more,” said Davis, who also had eight rebounds and six assists in 38 minutes.

On the other hand, Steph Curry added that it was good to return to action after missing 11 games due to injury.

“It felt great to get thrown back in there right away,” Curry said. “If I get better as the game goes on, that’s always a great sign for me individually. Even though we lost, some bright spots for sure.”

“The way the guys have been playing over the last five games and the stretch that we had at home, it’s a tough transition for everybody,” Curry said. “Just guys trying to keep their rhythm, keep their confidence. That’s our challenge as a team. We have to maintain trust in each other because we are all aiming to win at the highest level.”

The Lakers will next face Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
