LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis bruised his left shoulder so badly Friday against Milwaukee that he couldn’t move his entire arm in the final quarter as he ran up and down the court in the Lakers’ hard-fourth victory.

Two days later, Davis was just fine — and then some.

The Lakers’ center unveiled a loaded, and historic, stat line as the Lakers pushed past the under-manned Minnesota Timberwolves, 120-109, Sunday at Crypto.com Arena.

Davis had 27 points, 25 rebounds and five assists while also excelling defensively with seven steals and three blocks. He became the first player in NBA history with that elite combination of statistics, specifically at least 25 points, 25 rebounds, five assists and five steals in one game.

It nudged the Lakers (36-30) within a game of Dallas for eighth place in the Western Conference and moved them six games over .500 for the first time since the 2020-21 regular-season finale.

“We just wanted to come out [with] a team effort, knowing where we are in the standings and how important this game was in trying to close the gap in the standings,” said Davis, who also took 10 offensive rebounds, a category that had hurt the Lakers throughout the season.

Davis and the Lakers took full advantage of a Minnesota team that played without its two towers: injured big men Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony-Towns.

Just the same, the Lakers will take the win against the West’s second-place team. In the last week, the Lakers also defeated league heavies Oklahoma City and Milwaukee.

“I think we’re hitting our stride right now,” Davis said. “Just like last year, all we’ve got to do is get in [to the playoffs]. We feel like it’s tough for anybody to beat us in a seven-game series.”

It’ll be that much tougher on opponents if Davis posts efforts even remotely close to Sunday’s output.

Lakers forward Tauren Prince called it a “Hall of Fame performance.” Guard Austin Reaves said it was “just pure dominance.”

Davis initially hurt his shoulder two days earlier after taking a hard elbow from Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo late in the third quarter. He had only two points and two rebounds in the fourth quarter.

On Sunday, Davis applied a heat pack on the shoulder during time outs. It apparently worked.

The Lakers also got a boost from LeBron James, who had 29 points and nine assists after missing Friday’s game to rest a nagging left ankle injury. Reaves added 19 points and four assists.

Center Naz Reid helped pick up some of the Timberwolves’ scoring slack by scoring 25 points, including five three-pointers. Anthony Edwards matched Reid with 25 points for Minnesota (44-21).

The Lakers now hit a period of relative calm, playing only three games over the next 11 days. Their next game is Wednesday in Sacramento, a rematch of the Lakers’ surprising 130-120 loss to the Kings after losing a 19-point lead last week.

“We know that we can line up against anybody and beat them if we play the right way,” Davis said. “If we don’t, we can line up against anybody and lose.”
