The Los Angeles Lakers shocked many when they pulled off a huge Game 1 win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
Naturally, now everyone is wondering if they can do it again for Game 2.
Skip Bayless thinks that the Warriors will even the series but he wouldn’t be surprised if LA overtakes them.
“I think the Warriors win but would not be shocked if the Lakers do. They’re just better than them,” Bayless said on Undisputed.
Who wins Game 2: Lakers or Warriors?

Bayless said LA’s chances will come down to how well Anthony Davis does.
He said it’s possible Davis doesn’t play as spectacularly and has an off-night but he doesn’t think that will happen because he will be in “full-on attack mode”, especially against Warriors big man Kevon Looney.
If Davis shows up as he did in Game 1, Bayless believes that the Lakers could once again be triumphant.
Bayless isn’t the only person who thinks this: the conventional wisdom is that Davis will lead the team as he did on Tuesday night.
Steve Kerr and his team are definitely aware of that and they are surely making adjustments to address it.
It is expected that the Warriors will try to minimize Davis’ presence in any way they can.
But he has been playing in such a way that makes him sometimes look unstoppable, especially against a team that isn’t as big or powerful.
The Warriors are eager to make their fans happy on Thursday night so they will try to tweak what they did on Tuesday in hopes of landing a big win.
But if Davis and his Lakers are once again in the zone, the Warriors might head to LA with an 0-2 disadvantage.
