Aloha,
It wasn’t so much that we won the game, that was expected. It was how we did it that was unusual. We were up 10 when AD and LeBron went out in the 3rd and won by 21. With the lead peaking at 27. This is something you don’t see every game. The others were the story.
Rui +34
Wood+19
Dlo+18
Max+18
Austin+9
AD+6
LeBron+1
Over the last 4 games the Lakers are 53-117 from 3. 45%•.
It was nice to see DLO and Wood hitting their 3’s. DLO 4-7, Wood 3-3.
Max has a future in this league. 10 points, 7 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks and a steal. What impresses me the most is how solid he is on defense at 20 years old. He makes mistakes but he has shut down potential.
Rui is beginning to find his rhythm. And he is playing quality defense as well. He needs to play more minutesZ
AD continues to dominate and it doesn’t matter the quality of the opponent. He is destroying everyone. 26 8 and 4 blocks in 26 minutes. By the way he has now played in 79 of the 83 games.
Austin is becoming one of the craftiest player in the league. That behind the back layup was often.
Jackson Hayes, instant offense 10 points in 7 minutes.
On to the TWolves. We played them tough last time without LeBron. If our others continue to play well we will have an excellent chance of winning.
A must win!
Great that everybody played well. Great to see Rui have big game. AD was his usual great. This is how we need to use Wood. Primarily in big switch everthing lineups that need spacing.
Nice post, Michael, seems like when we make threes we blow out teams. When we don’t we need to be even more aggressive in the paint.
“By the way he has now played in 79 of the 83 games.”
Wow, that is great to know about AD’s endurance!!
