The Los Angeles Lakers had an impressive start to the 2024-25 NBA season, winning their first three games. However, they recently suffered a narrow loss to the Phoenix Suns. The outcome of that game might have been different, as Anthony Davis did not receive a free throw in the final minutes.

Davis Shares His Mindset for the 2024-25 NBA Season
The Lakers are determined to win the title this NBA season. Recently, the star player LeBron James proposed that the team should make Anthony Davis their focal point. In light of these preparations, Davis conveyed his mindset for the 2024-25 NBA season during a recent interview with Spectrum SportsNet.
“Nobody in the history has went 82-0. We don’t expect to lose, but we’re realists and realistically we were probably gonna lose a game. So we got to go win. We’re trying to not lose two in a row. That’s gonna be a challenge for us all year, never to lose two in a row.” Davis said.
