Anthony Davis dazzled fans when he led the Dallas Mavericks to a Play-In Tournament win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. This led Kendrick Perkins to drop a strong opinion about the All-Star forward and how he's playing with two other Mavs starters.

The game, held at the Golden 1 Center, saw the Mavericks dominate, particularly in a remarkable second quarter where they outscored the Kings 44-19.

Davis led the Mavericks with an impressive performance, scoring 27 points while also contributing nine rebounds and three blocks. Klay Thompson added 23 points, hitting five of seven attempts from beyond the arc. The Mavericks' offensive efficiency was on full display as they took the 120-106 win against Sacramento.

After the showdown, Perkins took to social media to drop his take on Davis and how "scary" it looked when he was on the floor alongside fellow big men Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II.

"That damn Big 3 of AD, Gafford and Lively are scary as hell for anybody defensively," Perkins said. "Them boys cover so much ground and meeting everyone at the rim. My God."

With Wednesday's victory, the Mavericks advance to face the Memphis Grizzlies in the final round of the NBA Play-In Tournament. The winner of the upcoming matchup earns the No. 8 seed and the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Sure enough, as Kendrick Perkins highlighted, Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II will be instrumental in keeping Dallas' playoff dreams alive against a team led by star guard Ja Morant. 

The Mavericks play the Grizzlies on Friday at the FedExForum in Memphis.
