Did Anthony Davis admit that Lakers were outcoached in loss to Clippers?

The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the in-arena rivals L.A. Clippers for the fourth consecutive time on Friday, and Anthony Davis had something interesting to say afterward.

Following the Lakers’ nail-biting 119-115 loss to the Clippers, Davis credited Clippers coach Tyronn Lue’s play-calling down the stretch, per Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll. Davis said that Lue found ways to take advantage of the Lakers’ aggressive rotations.

For much of the night, Lakers coach Frank Vogel chose to blitz Clippers star Paul George off pick-and-rolls or to just send two defenders at him outright. Lue responded with creative sequences of ball and player movement, which sprung open role players like Luke Kennard (19 points on five threes) and Marcus Morris (21 points on six threes) for easy shots.

Lue’s play designs were particularly impressive in the final 90 seconds when the Clippers connected on multiple three-pointers to ice the victory.
