Anthony Davis’ huge night helps Lakers win playoff series opener against Warriors

• Davis has 30 points, 23 rebounds in 117-112 victory
• Knicks level series with Heat in Tuesday's other game

LeBron James no longer has to do it all against Stephen Curry on the big stage, not even close. Anthony Davis plugs the middle and takes away the easy chances inside. Dennis Schroder has the energy to help chase No 30 all over the court. D'Angelo Russell can hit a big shot with a hand in his face.

That's the thing about these new-look Lakers - they take much pressure off the game's all-time scoring leader, even with the defending champions on a 14-0 run with their home crowd rocking.
