The Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis credited the team around him for stepping up and finding a rhythm in the latter half of the season.

“We’ve been in a really good groove. I mean, obviously, there’s a lot at stake, a lot on the line for us,” Davis said. “So we have no choice but to find a rhythm and find a groove as a team. We’ve been able to do that and win some basketball games without practicing and getting reps with each other.

“Our practice has been games, and we’ve been able to figure it out on the fly. Our basketball IQ and understanding is pretty high. So even though practices have been eliminated, we’ve been able to communicate and talk about things that we want to do on the floor on both ends and been able to execute it at a high level and the result has been victories.”
