"Despite the defensive showing, Davis -- who was the runner-up for Defensive Player of the Year this season to the Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo -- was not satisfied with his performance on that end.
"I feel I was a step slow on defensive rotations tonight. I feel I can be better defensively," said Davis, who led the Lakers with 29 points to go with 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. "Kind of got knocked off my rhythm early [in Game 4]. But for me to just keep going, I go in and try to get offensive rebounds, screen for my teammates, do all the intangibles and make sure I can affect the game in other ways besides just scoring the basketball."
It warms my heart to hear young players today still using phrases like "scoring the basketball." So old school.
