"AD is mentally weak at the end of games": Lakers fans decimate Anthony Davis for near costly late-game blunder

Lakers fans expressed their frustration with Anthony Davis after the superstar center faltered in clutch moments during the team’s nail-biting 103-99 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. With 12.1 seconds left, Davis missed both free throws after being fouled by Malik Monk on a baseline jump shot attempt.

Fortunately for Davis and the Lakers, Rui Hachimura secured a crucial tap-out rebound after the second missed free throw, leading to Austin Reaves being fouled. Reaves calmly knocked down both free throws, sealing the game for the Purple and Gold.

Despite the victory, Davis drew criticism from Lakers fans, who were disappointed with the former New Orleans Pelicans star's inability to deliver in key late-game free throw situations.

"I don’t care what anybody says AD is mentally weak at the end of games!" a fan commented.

"Wow? He does it a lot. Cost the team two games this year," commented another fan.

"No surprise on AD missing critical free throws. Hes so trash at it. Thank you Rui ! Game winning play," a fan wrote.

"Rui saved AD from shitting his pants again," another user wrote.

"Anthony Davis is the worst clutch free throw shooter of all time," said a fan.

"Ad is such a choke artist stop giving him the fucking ball and get it to a guard," a fan commented.

JJ Redick on Anthony Davis' missed free throws

Lakers head coach JJ Redick addressed Anthony Davis' missed free throws in crunch time following the team’s consecutive victories over the Sacramento Kings. Redick expressed confidence in Davis’ ability to deliver in clutch free-throw situations as the season progresses.

"He'll be in those situations again and I'm confident he's gonna make the shots," Redick said.

Anthony Davis had a quiet outing against the Kings, finishing with just 10 points in 37 minutes. The one-time NBA champion shot 4 of 10 from the field and 2 of 4 from the free-throw line. However, he contributed in other areas, recording 15 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and five turnovers.
