If the Lakers are going to go anywhere meaningful in this season's playoffs, they need to greatly improve their defense.

With 2:03 remaining in the first half, Lakers star LeBron James attempted an inbounds pass to Davis, but the ball was stolen away, and Davis, in his attempt to catch the pass, collided with Suns big man Jusuf Nurkic and saw his momentum carry him into the first row of seats at the Footprint Center.

Despite sitting above .500, Los Angeles ranks 27th in defensive rating through 17 games, prompting Anthony Davis to demand more accountability as the team struggles through another inconsistent stretch.
