[Saba Sports News] Anthony Davis made a pointed remark about the Memphis Grizzlies following the Los Angeles Lakers’ dominant win in their recent In-Season Tournament game. The Lakers triumphed with a substantial 134-107 margin over the Grizzlies, a lead so commanding that LeBron James, Davis, and other starters rested the entire fourth quarter.
In a post-game interview with Spectrum SportsNet, when asked about the last time he and James could relax on the bench for the fourth quarter, Davis recalled a similar situation from last year’s playoffs. He mentioned their Game 6 victory over the Grizzlies, where the Lakers decisively won 125-85, eliminating the higher-seeded Grizzlies in a significant upset.
“Actually, I think it was probably the last time when we played them,” Davis said of the Grizzlies. “In Game 6, I think.”
This comment served as a sharp reminder of the Lakers’ previous playoff dominance over the Grizzlies. The tension between the two teams was evident in the latest game as well, with Davis involved in an early altercation with Grizzlies players Desmond Bane and Santi Aldama. Davis’s final comment underscored the Lakers’ triumph and his own satisfaction with the victory.
