And a lot of teams that are in the top of the West or the top of the East — the top teams — we’ve either beaten or been in really close games,” he said. Davis and Hachimura entered the game together to a loud ovation with four minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter and the Lakers down by eight. So, we always have our swag, we always have our confidence and it’s about us going on the floor and showing that.” “The fans, us and even the other team, I felt like, felt it too.” And after that, maybe first minute, minute and a half when I didn’t feel anything, I just wanted to start playing. Davis missed his first shot, a 20-foot jumper, and missed his first free-throw attempt soon after. And it’s likely Lonnie Walker IV (left knee tendinitis) and Austin Reaves (left hamstring) will return during the upcoming trip. A healthy Davis will lighten the scoring load carried by LeBron James and also revive the Lakers’ defense, as he did Wednesday in his first duty off the bench following 548 consecutive starts. 9 trade deadline](https://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/story/2023-01-25/lakers-clippers-takeaways).
