Anthony Davis put up the first 40-20 game for the Los Angeles Lakers last night since Shaq did it in 2003.
Amazingly, Davis accomplished the feat in only three quarters.
@AntDavis23 is the first player in the shot-clock era to record 40+PTS & 20+REB in a game in 31 or fewer minutes (Davis played 30:34).
Elgin Baylor had the previous fastest 40-20 game in that span, playing 33 minutes on Jan. 2, 1961 (46 PTS, 22 REB). pic.twitter.com/MW4BGIEqDr

Davis also finished the game with a franchise-record 26 made free throws. He is only the second player in NBA history to finished with 40 points, 20 rebounds and at least 25 made free throws. The other…Wilt Chamberlain.
