Anthony Davis on performance against Warriors
Anthony Davis who was exceptional in the first game, performed poorly in Game 2 with 11 points in 33 minutes while shooting 5-of-11 from the field.
Davis finished with a plus-minus of -22 and sat out most of the final quarter.
“I took all the same shots I took in Game 1,” Davis said.
“Just missed them. Elbow jumpers. Pocket passes to the floater. Same exact looks. I didn’t shoot any shot that I didn’t shoot in Game 1. Just missed them.
"That’s all. As Bron said, they made adjustments. Shot the ball extremely well from 3. So, we’ll be better. I’ll be better at making those shots. Get back home on our home floor and try to take care of business.”
