One of the Los Angeles Lakers' issues heading into the postseason is how their offense drops off when LeBron James heads to the bench. That hasn't been the case in the 2020 playoffs, with Anthony Davis' emerging dominance on that end of the floor.

Colin Ward-Henninger of CBS Sports details how Davis' play has elevated Los Angeles into a juggernaut even without his main partner-in-crime:

The Lakers aren't just dominating with their two best players on the court together. They're dominating even when James is on the bench, and that has everything to do with Davis' tremendous offensive performance. In a postseason that has included his first-ever Western Conference finals and NBA Finals appearances, Davis is averaging a team-best 29.3 points per game while shooting 58 percent from the field. He's been nearly unstoppable for stretches, including a 14-for-15 start en route to 32 points, 14 rebounds (eight offensive) on 15-for-20 shooting in the Lakers' 124-114 Game 2 win over the Heat on Friday.

With LeBron on the bench this postseason, the Lakers have a plus-9.5 net rating and virtually the same offensive rating (117.5) as they do with LeBron on the court — a huge turnaround from the regular season. Yes, a lot of that has to do with Lakers coach Frank Vogel figuring out the rotations, role players stepping up and the re-emergence of Playoff Rondo form his cocoon, but Davis has also been much more comfortable embracing his role as the main offensive threat.

Two more wins separate Davis from capturing his first NBA championship. The Brow has been nearly unstoppable through the first two games of the Finals so far. After dropping 34 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in the series opener, AD followed up with a 32-point, 14-rebounds masterpiece, where he went 15-of-20 from the field.
