Part 2/7:
According to Charles San, the Lakers' woes were on full display during a previous game against the Utah Jazz, where Anthony Davis only managed to take two shots in the fourth quarter, despite a formidable 31-point output in the first three quarters. The discussion became more engaging when former NBA players Rashard McCann, Gilbert Arenas, and Kenyon Martin weighed in on this perplexing trend.
Kenyon Martin expressed concern for Davis, emphasizing that a player of his caliber should not be relegated to such a minimal role in crunch time. Martin asserted that the trend of underutilization in the fourth quarter could go beyond just Davis, extending to coaching and team dynamics as well. His passionate call for a shift in strategy underscored a pressing need within the franchise.
