Part 4/6:
Analyzing the Lakers’ Strategy
A key takeaway from the game was how the Lakers managed to defend effectively, even against a team featuring star Kawhi Leonard, who had a standout performance himself. The strategy seems to be resting on using their perimeter size effectively to influence the game—a tactic that must be credited to their coaching staff under JJ Reddick.
Analysts highlighted that the defensive skill set the Lakers are demonstrating isn't just a fleeting trend but a formidable strategy that could support their ambitions towards the playoffs. It's evident they are adapting and improving, finding ways to win games even under pressure.
