Best-of-seven-game playoff basketball is often called a series of adjustments, and it was called that in this newsletter as we awaited the Warriors’ response to losing Game 1 to the Lakers.
That was the Lakers in a 127-97 battering of the Warriors last night at Crypto.com Arena that gave L.A. a 2-1 lead in the series going into another home game Monday. That’s heartening and worrisome at the same time for Lakers fans. So much depends on AD bringing his A game instead of his D game. “We can talk about coverages and adjustments and all of that, but the basic foundation of us executing anything is our approach, our energy, our effort, our urgency,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham saidThere were other advantages for the Lakers, who held Golden State to a 2023 playoff-low 97 points on sub-40% shooting, sub-30% on 3-pointers, and 19 turnovers, but the Warriors’ Draymond Green attributed the loss of their free flow to the Lakers’ parade to the free-throw line.
was all but calling the series over after the Warriors took advantage of getting more shooters on the floor in their victory.
