Anthony Davis Believes He Would’ve Blocked Collin Sexton’s Game-Winning Layup If Jazz Didn’t Call Timeout

The Los Angeles Lakers, missing several key players, found themselves locked in a nail-biting contest against the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. Despite offensive struggles, the Lakers managed to escape with a 105-104 victory to kick off their road trip.

Anthony Davis was dominant, leading all scorers with 33 points, 11 rebounds, two steals, and a block, while LeBron James delivered a vintage performance with 27 points, five rebounds, and an impressive 14 assists. Their efforts were crucial in a game where the Lakers’ offense faltered at times, underscoring the importance of their star power in tight situations.

The game reached its climax in the final seconds. With the Lakers holding a slim lead, the Jazz grabbed a rebound and pushed the ball upcourt. Collin Sexton, sensing an opportunity, raced in transition and appeared poised to deliver a game-winning layup. However, Jazz coach Will Hardy called a timeout moments before Sexton’s basket, negating the score.

After the timeout, Sexton had another chance to secure the win, but the Lakers’ defense held firm, sealing the victory. The thrilling finish showcased the Lakers’ resilience and the high stakes of a hard-fought NBA clash, setting the tone for their road trip.
