Golden State Warriors have an Anthony Davis problem down 1-0 to the Los Angeles Lakers
SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors run, the Lakers bruise.
If the Warriors hope to overcome a 1-0 series deficit, they’ll have to figure out how to beat Davis, the Lakers’ 6-foot-10 center, instead of working around him. Golden State was largely deferential to Davis in Game 1, letting him camp in the paint, waiting for the perimeter defenders to funnel Warriors to him there on defense. It deterred drives to the rim with any consistency and prompted the Warriors to take 53 3-pointers.
“It’s a long series,” Jordan Poole said postgame Tuesday. “We got a lot of guys like me, Steph and Klay , who move so much off the ball and have good pace and we’re all in good shape. We can use it as an advantage if they want to play the running game with us.” Pulling Davis out of the paint to defend would be a potential added bonus to going small in Game 2, too. The increased spacing may open up bigger lanes to drive to the paint.
