On Tuesday, Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis was assessed a flagrant foul for hitting Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green in the groin during Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals.
The play occurred with just over 15 seconds remaining in the first half. Davis swung his arm through on a drive to the rim and directly connected with Green’s groin.
Davis had a bounce-back performance in Game 2 after the Lakers lost Game 1 of the series.
Davis led the Lakers in scoring in the 117-109 victory. He finished with 34 points on 15-of-24 shooting and added 10 rebounds.
Still, it was the Lakers’ bench that helped propel them in Game 2. Davis was great, but the Lakers were still minus-7 when he was on the floor.
However, guard Rajon Rondo (plus-28) and forward Markieff Morris (plus-15) provided huge impacts coming off the bench.
The Lakers will take on the Rockets in Game 3 on Tuesday from the Orlando, Fla. bubble.
