I really think this game was more just LeBron playing badly than him not willing to give Anthony Davis late touches. After all AD scored the last ten points of the game. And LeBron said after the game that he needed to lean on AD this game down the stretch. But all year LeBron has been deferring to AD plenty. Like in the first game of the season when he fed him the ball in the post like a million times in a row. He has consistently been fine with AD taking shots in the end of the game including game winning attempts (even when they dont go in like in that game against Brooklyn where AD missed the game winner). The difference between AD and other previous star teammates on LeBron teams is that there really is no “my turn - your turn” offense with AD (unlike Wade or Kyrie). Most plays where AD scores still involve LeBron either making a feed or somehow otherwise being involved in the action. So it’s not like offense for one of them comes at the cost of offense for the other.
