Los Angeles Lakers:
While the Lakers didn’t need to feast during their eight seeding games they surely didn’t expect to struggle as mightily as they did.
The had one of the harder strengths of schedules with a cumulative opponent win total of 321 which was the third most difficult.
And, while Kyle Kuzma spouts his dominance and ability to score over holy men it should be noted his ascendance and good performances only happened when facing mostly all reserve unit lineups.
Moving forward, the Lakers will likely rediscover their ability now that games matter. That said, having to face the best backcourt remaining in the bubble should have Frank Vogel a little worried.
