Q4

When it looked like all hope was lost when LeBron went down, in comes Rondo to save the day! Great team effort all-around. Everybody stepped up when needed the most. That third quarter was quite a scare and we're like, yup just another run. But, Rondo played some peacemaker to control the game. Playoff Rondo was in full display. Zubac too contributed. I know it's three games in since he made the start, but we might have ourselves a headache at the center position with Zubac and McGee. What a game. We Laker fans got ourselves a hell of a Christmas present. Stay tuned for the full recap!
Q3
LAL 91 GSW 82
Yes, that LeBron injury changed the whole momentum of the game. The Warriors won that quarter. The Lakers played a little out-of-control this quarter, which was pretty disappointing. It was the moment that the inexperience on this team was starting to show once again against the 2x defending champs. Luckily, Rondo and Ingram stepped up to control the Laker lead down the stretch. Both of them and Kuzma got to pick up the slack as if LeBron is not going to return for the rest of the game. Meanwhile, Lance Stephenson with a huge three to end the quarter helped as well. He continues to have a solid game from deep. 4th quarter without LeBron? Time to gauge the moxie of this young Lakers squad.
