If the Lakers are going to go anywhere meaningful in this season's playoffs, they need to greatly improve their defense.

With 2:03 remaining in the first half, Lakers star LeBron James attempted an inbounds pass to Davis, but the ball was stolen away, and Davis, in his attempt to catch the pass, collided with Suns big man Jusuf Nurkic and saw his momentum carry him into the first row of seats at the Footprint Center.

The Lakers will need Anthony Davis to bounce back ijn a huge way against the Suns after a lackluster outing vs. the Nuggets.
