Anthony Davis and the Lakers have their sights set on defeating the Warriors and securing their spot in the NBA playoffs.

Davis said the Lakers should approach this game as if they play in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

“They’re playing extremely well. We know who the head of the snake is. Steph. We look at as a Game 7 for sure. It’s a must-win for us. We can’t afford to lose this game,” Davis said, via Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation.

The winner of Lakers – Warriors game will go on to face the Phoenix Suns. Whoever loses, though, will play the winner of Grizzlies – Spurs matchup for the eighth place in the West and a battle with top-seeded Utah Jazz.
