Minnesota came into Sunday's game against the Lakers at the Crypt down two of their bigs - Karl Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert. That meant Anthony Davis was in position to, and NEEDED to, dominate. 

And dominate he did. 

AD's final line—27 points, 25 rebounds, five assists, seven steals—is one that has never been posted before. Nobody has ever had 25 points, 25 rebounds, five dimes and five assists. Not in one game, at least. And just for fun, he finished only two blocks shy of a 5x5. And in the process, the Lakers, who controlled the action either by playing well themselves or turning the ball over so Minnesota could make some runs, got a huge 120-109 win over the Wolves, 

The Lakers are now back to six games over .500, a game (minus the tiebreaker) behind Dallas, and 1.5 behind Sacramento (again, tiebreaker not included) and are nearing the end of their absurdly challenging run of games (after which it morphs back simply into a conventionally challenging run of games. Davis was so good, he made LeBron's 29/8/9 feel like an afterthought. 19/6/4 from Austin Reaves might as well not have happened. 

It was a very strong weekend for the Lakers, overrall, coming off big wins over the Bucks and now the Wolves, and having recently knocked off the Thunder, too. And now they have only one game—Wednesday in Sacramento—between now and Saturday against Golden State. That could  big a pretty big deal for a team with banged up stars.
