The Los Angeles Lakers have started the NBA season 2-0 for the first time since 2010-11, largely due to the impactful performances of Anthony Davis, who has scored 35+ points in both games, joining Lakers legends Jerry West and Elgin Baylor in this achievement. Under new head coach JJ Redick, the team has displayed improved chemistry and strategic use of their star players, particularly Davis, as emphasized by LeBron James. The Lakers overcame a sluggish start and a 22-point deficit to defeat the Phoenix Suns 123-116, with Davis and Austin Reaves playing pivotal roles. Defensive adjustments were crucial in the comeback, allowing the Lakers to limit Phoenix's shooting efficiency in the latter half. This early success has generated optimism for the Lakers, despite the season's nascent stage. The team’s balanced scoring and Redick's calm leadership have been instrumental in their strong start.
