Anthony Davis, LeBron James spur Los Angeles Lakers to Game 2 win over Phoenix Suns
PHOENIX -- With the Los Angeles Lakers' once 15-point lead whittled down to just one and 16,000 screaming fans sensing a 2-0 series lead for their Suns, LeBron James and Anthony Davis took over Game 2 on Tuesday.
Davis blocked Deandre Ayton's hook shot with 3:15 remaining, initiating a 55-second sequence in which he and James combined for a 7-0 scoring spurt on their own that lifted L.A. to a 109-102 win.
"Two of the top five players in the NBA," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said afterward. "And we have a formula where those guys really carry the biggest scoring load, especially at crunch time, and an army of defenders and finishers around them, whether it's finishing at the 3-point line or at the rim.
"And it's been a good formula so far, and those guys continue to show why they're great players, by stepping up down the stretch."
