Anthony Davis 'On Another Planet' as LeBron James, Lakers Defeat Pistons

The Los Angeles Lakers closed out their six-game road trip with a 124-117 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, and it took another herculean performance by Anthony Davis to get the victory.

Los Angeles snapped a three-game losing streak with a 34 point, 15 rebound, seven assists, two steals and a block performance by Davis. The Lakers star had a 35 point game.

Davis has scored at least 30 points in his last five games. He was forced to leave the game against Cleveland because of an illness after just one quarter.

The 29-year-old is performing at a level that has many believing he's one of the best players in the league.

Anthony Davis is on another planet right now.

AD is ridiculous. Pistons keep getting it within 3 and then Davis scores.

Meanwhile, Anthony Davis still playing like the best player in the NBA.

That was one of the best plays I've seen Anthony Davis make out of a double team while being a #Laker.

Hope his growth in taking double teams continues in this trajectory 🤞

LeBron James and Anthony Davis are both playing at an extremely high level, and the Lakers won't make a trade to make sure their performances don't go to waste.

Don't think AD will catch Bojan's 22 points but he's got 17 points of his own in this third quarter.

Gorgeous pass to AD man I love AD & Bron not having to work hard for buckets

Letting Go @ProvideContext

What AD has been doing to double teams has been nothing short of incredible. He turned his biggest weakness into just another strength. Wow.

When the Lakers give the ball to AD they score …. But then they just suddenly stop going to AD & think they can shoot. It's so frustrating cause it's so easy but the Lakers make it hard

LAKERFANATICS @LAKERFANATICS

AD has another double-double.

Anthony Davis is now at least an average passer out of double teams

This is no longer a weakness in his game

Los Angeles has a superstar who can be the best player on the court when Davis is in the lineup.

The Boston Celtics have the best record in the NBA at 21-6.
