Los Angeles Lakers took a 3-1 lead over Golden State Warriors after a brilliant win on Monday.<\/p>\n
One of the highlights of the game was Laker’s forward Anthony Davis switching roles to a more defensive position, having to fend off Golden State’s avalanche of persistent attacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cMan, I pride myself on defense. The Warriors wanted, obviously, to switch with me, and I took that personal,\u201d Davis commented after the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know when Curry gets to his step-back three \u2026 I just wanted to move them puppies and keep him in front and make him take a tough shot. And that\u2019s what I did. \u2026 I just wanted to make it tough on him and make him shoot over a contested hand and pray that he missed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stephen Curry was guarded by Davis in the closing 38 seconds of the match and that paid dividends for the Los Angeles team as he missed both of his opportunities.<\/p>\n
The Lakers’ man revealed he was all fired up for his matchup against Curry and that eventually led to him making the crucial stops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
