Davis totaled 13 points (4-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and five blocks in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 103-93 loss to the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers need Davis to be at his best, as there will be games in which LeBron James won't be able to carry the team on his own. The star big man failed to show up in this one, ending with more field goal attempts (14) than points scored (13). The Lakers need Davis to step his game up in Game 3 on Saturday to avoid falling behind in the series.
