Anthony Davis came out determined going into the fourth quarter that the Los Angeles Lakers weren't going to suffer a fourth straight loss.

The All-Star forward scored 19 of his 30 points in the final 12 minutes and helped the Lakers rally for a 99-94 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers Wednesday night. Davis also had 15 rebounds, including seven in the fourth.

It is the third time this season that he has had at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in a game.

"I just tried to come out with the mindset of ending the streak," said Davis, who is averaging 29.3 points over his last three games. "We have to play with some urgency. We just fought hard tonight. It was a great game for us."

Los Angeles trailed 75-72 going into the fourth quarter but went on an 8-1 run to regain the lead. It would go up five midway through the quarter but a 3-pointer from Norman Powell tied it at 89 with 2:44 remaining.

The Lakers though would seize control with six straight points by Davis as they held a 95-89 advantage with 52 seconds left.

"He had some great sequences of grabbing rebounds in traffic," coach Frank Vogel said. "Tonight was about mental toughness and making enough plays and shots. It was a hell of a game by Anthony."

Carmelo Anthony added 24 for the Lakers, who were missing LeBron James for the fourth consecutive game due to left knee soreness.
