So much so, that the All-Star big man event went as far as saying how he believes that “<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-anthony-davis-says-he-sucks-right-now-after-game-vs-giannis-antetokounmpo-and-bucks/">I suck right now</a>” — something that L.A. head coach Frank Vogel was having none of.</p><p>Vogel refuted Davis’ harsh self-assessment, as the Lakers shot-caller explained why he believes Davis is still able to contribute to his team despite being in a bit of a funk:</p><blockquote>“I don’t think it was warranted,” Vogel said, via <a href="https://twitter.com/MMoreno1015/status/1353145650985136129">Matthew Moreno</a> of Lakers Nation (h/t <a href="https://www.talkbasket.net/120087-i-am-not-really-concerned-about-anthony-davis-says-frank-vogel">TalkBasket.Net</a>). “I think he’s not in rhythm like he’s used to, but I think he’s still doing a lot of winning things. … I’m really not concerned about Anthony Davis.”</blockquote><p>Over the past three games, Davis has been shooting just <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/davisan02/gamelog/2021">38.0 percent</a> from the field — a far cry from his career shooting average of 51.6 percent. Needless to say, Davis has been having trouble finding the net of late and given his extremely high standards, it resulted in an excessively savage assessment from him. Nonetheless, the Lakers were still able to win two out of those three games, and there’s no denying that the seven-time All-Star played a key role in both victories.</p><p>Davis and Co. face off against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, as they look to log their 13th win of the campaign. The Lakers entered Saturday’s contest with a 12-4 record, and are tied with the Los Angeles Clippers at the top of the Western Conference.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Though he is known for his ability to command the offense and work in isolation, James demonstrated his off-ball skills, cutting and scoring with a ferocious dunk off a dime from Los Angeles Lakers teammate Anthony Davis.</p><p>While he may have been aiming for payback against Giannis and Jrue Holiday, it was the rim that bore the brunt of the Lakers superstar’s aggression.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">AD to Bron for the HAMMER 😳<a href="https://t.co/jIxQnkik9j" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/jIxQnkik9j</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1352432102973730817?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">January 22, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Failing to get space after facing up Giannis Antetokounmpo on the left block, Davis reversed the action by attempting to back down the Bucks big man. Hoping to get into the interior, the Lakers forward watched as Milwaukee tried to spring a trap with Jrue Holiday dropping from his position along the arc to help Giannis quarrel him.</p><p>However, before the guard could get into position, LeBron used the split-second of indecision by Holiday to come flying into the lane on a hard cut to the basket.</p><p>Recognizing the bail-out before the Bucks did, Davis dropped a picture-perfect bounce pass to James, who promptly scooped it up and finished with a two-handed slam.</p><p>Not only did the dunk narrow the Bucks’ lead to a mere two points, but it also proved to be the catalyst for a Lakers’ run that capitulated them into a six-point lead at halftime.  Should he continue attacking, it’s likely that won’t be the last we hear from James tonight.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
