The star of the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis, didn’t hold back when discussing what he believed to be the issue in the Lakers’ 120-101 loss to the Orlando Magic. The Lakers star added, “We’ll tighten up the screws a little bit, but the offensive rebounds killed us all game from start to finish,” in a postgame interview with Spectrum SportsNet.
The Magic had 19 offensive rebounds throughout the game against the Lakers, with 5 coming from Moritz Wagner and 4 from Goga Bitadze. The Lakers were outrebounded 51–40 overall.
The Lakers’ season now stands at.500 after the loss, and they are still looking for their first road victory of the year. Still, Davis played his role. In the defeat, the Lakers centre finished with 28 points, 13 rebounds, and an incredible 7 blocked shots. LeBron James finished with nine rebounds, five assists, and 24 points. In, Austin Reaves scored twenty points.
Los Angeles took a “huge step backward” on the defensive glass, according to Lakers coach Darvin Ham, who expressed his displeasure with his squad.
Ham said, “We just didn’t have it today.” He went on, “You can’t plan for rebounding.” “You really must obtain the dang ball…I can’t think of a play to gain rebounds.
