Anthony Davis<\/a><\/strong> was special on Thursday night for the Los Angeles Lakers, but some shooting struggles down the stretch prevented his team from coming out with a win. <\/p>\n

Davis dropped a game-high 39 points on the Orlando Magic.<\/strong> He shot 14-22 from the field (making his lone three-pointer along the way) while adding nine rebounds, three blocks, and two assists in 37 minutes. The former Wildcat has been playing at an MVP level this season, but he wasn\u2019t at his best in the final minute. <\/p>\n

With the Lakers leading by two and 19 seconds left in the game, Davis missed a pair of free throws (only seconds after going 1-2 at the stripe). On the next possession, Orlando\u2019s Franz Wagner, who finished with 37 points, nailed a deep<\/em> stepback go-ahead three-pointer. Los Angeles still had a chance to win with 2.5 seconds on the clock, but Davis air-balled a long turnaround jumper at the buzzer, gifting the Magic a 119-118 victory.<\/p>\n

Davis\u2019s overall performance was great, especially from a box score perspective. But he couldn\u2019t come up clutch when the Lakers needed him the most. We won\u2019t hold it against him for long though. Los Angeles is currently 10-5 this season with Davis averaging a career-high 31.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.9 blocks, and 1.2 steals in 35.2 minutes per outing. He\u2019s shooting 57.3 percent from the field and 43.3 percent from deep \u2014 both career-highs in year 12 as a pro. <\/p>\n

Just work on those free throws, AD. <\/p>\n
