湖人今天造訪沙加緬度，靠著「詹皇」LeBron James單場32分、7籃板、6助攻、4抄截的全方位表現撐場，最終以103比99驚險收下本季對戰國王3連勝，然而，比賽尾聲的關鍵時刻，Anthony Davis居然兩罰失手，令老婆大人都忍不住開嗆：「八村壘救了你！」

比賽結束前12秒，湖人僅保有2分領先優勢，此時Davis被送上罰球線，原本有大好機會幫助紫金軍團站穩領先陣腳，沒想到他居然連續兩罰落空，所幸八村壘奮力把進攻籃板撥回Davis手上，再傳給Austin Reaves製造對手犯規，而Reaves不負眾望兩罰俱中，才穩穩宣告勝利到手。

Davis無法在關鍵時刻穩住球隊領先陣腳，立刻在網路上成為球迷嘲諷焦點，有人甚至點出Davis本季關鍵時刻16次站上罰球線僅命中6球，而Davis的老婆更是無情開嗆。Davis賽後接受媒體訪問時苦笑：「我老婆甚至直接打電話來說：『是八村壘救了你！』這感覺實在太糟了…」
Before this season, Anthony Davis was 0-10 vs. Domantas Sabonis in his career.

雖然Davis關鍵兩罰失手，但他最終仍為湖人貢獻10分、15籃板、5助攻、3阻攻，而且在本季之前，Davis面對國王當家中鋒Domantas Sabonis居於10連敗劣勢，不過本季湖人面對國王已強勢取得3連勝，Davis還算保有一點面子。
