Among the game's underperformers on the side of the Lakers was Anthony Davis, who could not score in the first half and finished the game with 17 points on 35% shooting.

Colin Cowherd, who is a host on Fox Sports radio, came up with an entertaining analogy about Davis's performance.

"Generally, NBA superstars are not like the milkshake machine at McDonald's, where when it works, it's amazing, but it's about 50 percent of the time," said the host.

"That's how it works for 'B' players, but you get that with Anthony Davis. Sometimes you go through the drive-thru, it's just not working," he continued.

He then compared David to some stars from NBA history.

"He's [Anthony Davis] great occasionally. Magic, Bird, LeBron, Hakeem, Shaq, Kobe, Steph, you kind of know what you're getting 90 percent of the time," Cowherd gave examples.

"If a guy generally averages 27 [points] per night, you get 27 [points] per night. With AD, it could be 40, then 13," he said, emboldening his milkshake machine comparison.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Anthony Davis will have chances to make up for their loss in the upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns on October 27.
