The Lakers can't stop anyone without Anthony Davis in the middle of their defense. The Warriors put up 70 points in the first half, 104 through three quarters and finished with 134, getting to the rim seemingly at will without the threat of Davis on the back line. The same thing happened Sunday against Minnesota when Davis went out with an eye injury.
The Lakers' defense was a revolving door without Davis on the court. After winning eight of their nine games heading into Sunday, the Lakers have now dropped two in a row and any chances of getting out of the play-in are slim. The other takeaway is not to discount Golden State in a playoff-type environment.
