Anthony Davis Makes NBA History as Lakers Beat Timberwolves

Anthony Davis has proven himself as one of the Los Angeles Lakers’ strongest assets in recent years, and he’s constantly pushing boundaries. Davis was on top of his game in the Lakers’ Sunday night face-off against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and his performance was one for history books. Davis finished the game with 27 points, a season-high 25 rebounds, and a career-high seven steals, and these numbers are quite historic. He became the first player in NBA history with at least 25 points, 25 rebounds, five assists, five steals, and three blocks in a single game. It was also a great night for Davis’ teammate LeBron James, who was the game’s top scorer with 29 points. They both played an integral role in helping the Lakers cruise past the Timberwolves and score an epic 120-109 win. Davis said their confidence is high after this victory, and added it takes consistency to play this way each and every night. "I think we're hitting our stride. We're just trying to keep going, keep pushing, knowing that just like last year, all we got to do is get in. We feel like it's tough for anybody to beat us in a seven-game series. We like our chances against anybody at that point," Davis told reporters after the game.
