What a different a day makes.
In an astonishing sequence midway through the third quarter, Anthony Davis slammed home a rim-rattling dunk, hit a step-back three-pointer, grabbed two rebounds, blocked a shot, and then hit a fadeaway mid-range shot to put the Lakers up by 30 points.
He was not going to allow a repeat of Game 1.
Davis had 31 points and 11 rebounds and the Los Angeles Lakers blew out the Portland Trail Blazers, 111-88, in Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs to even their first-round series at 1-1.
