Also because of Kobe: Lakers celebrate Davis

The Lakers are threatening to lose to the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 – then Anthony Davis will be the match winner. Memories of Kobe Bryant come up.

In the end, there was nothing we could do against the nerves of the Monobrow: (Schedule of the NBA-Playoffs)

With a buzzerbeater 2.1 seconds from the end to a 105-103 win over the Denver Nuggets, Anthony Davis has brought the Los Angeles Lakers 2-0 up front in the Western Conference final series, bringing them even closer to the final of the NBA Finals.

With 31 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, AD not only became the match winner, but also the best scorer in its franchise, because superstar LeBron James dropped significantly in the second half despite a double-double (26 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists).

Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, on the other hand, contributed 11 points each in three threes, with Alex Caruso (9) and Kyle Kuzma (8) convincing from the bench.

Lakers widmen Sieg Kobe Bryant

“Ich war bereit. Ich will diese Würfe”, sagte Davis dem TV-Sender TNT hinterher fast schon trotzig. “Ich habe getroffen. Deswegen haben sie mich hierher gebracht. Ich habe die ganze Zeit zu Rondo geschaut. Die Leute haben darüber geredet, dass ich nie in einem solchen Moment war, den Druck und ob ich bereit dafür bin. Wir leben und sterben damit, dass ich diesen entscheidenden Wurf nehme.”

“Wir wollen zeigen, wofür Kobe Bryant gestanden hat”, widmete Los Angeles’ Headcoach Frank Vogel den Sieg am Ende auch der Anfang des Jahres bei einem Helikopter-Absturz so tragisch ums Leben gekommenen früheren Lakers-Legende. “Es gibt Spiele, in denen man es mehr fühlt als in anderen. Das war ein Wurf, den Kobe getroffen hätte.”
