With AD’s help, the Lakers built a 20-point lead right off the bat in the first quarter and continued to fight even when the defending champions erased the deficit.

The dub showed how this Lakers team was able to hold things under control and remain focused. As they head into this final stretch of the postseason, the team will channel more of this energy in order to increase their chances of seeing the postseason.
