The Los Angeles Lakers' recent victory against the Utah Jazz not only marked their sixth win in the last seven games, but it also signified something more significant—a declaration of their identity. Following the game, Anthony Davis expressed that the team is beginning to establish its style of play and the characteristics that define them as a unit.
Davis, who put up an impressive stat line of 37 points and 15 rebounds, stated, '[It's] not what we can be, but it's who we are.' He emphasized that the Lakers are evolving into a fast-paced team that excels at attacking the paint and drawing fouls, while maintaining tenacity on the defensive end. This identity is crucial for their future success as they want to avoid any uncertainty about their team identity after the NBA All-Star break.
