- Deepest bench in the league with better shooters. - most points in the league on fastbreaks - best three point shooting team - top 3 on points in the paint. - top 3 in defense - a top 10 team in blocks and steals
Pure efficiency on both sides of the ball.
And had Giannis not gone to the bench for a lot of the second half. They would have won by 20 or more.
Dude still had like 34 points 14 rebounds 5 assists.
Lakers are good when they can use their size at a slow pace, keep the lanes closed, and control possession. But when an entire team can shoot, forcing bigs to come out and guard, leaves the paint open. And it forces the lakers to get into a 3 point shooting contest, and with Green the only one being able to be consistent from 3....that’s a bad game plan for the lakers.
Lakers need speed, better shooting and players who can get their own shot other than LB and AD.
