(Anthony) Davis said they have to get back defending physically like they did toward the end of last season when they were in a battle for the eighth and final playoff seed in the Western Conference and landed it before getting swept in four games by the Warriors in the first round.

”We can’t be labeled as a soft team,” Davis said after Saturday’s shootaround. ”We got to be more tenacious. I think the fourth quarter in Portland showed how we can play defensively and that’s how we got to play from the beginning.”
