Two words: Rick Fox. :)

LAKERS are saving it for the right time. Regardless of how the KINGS, TIMBERWOLVES played or didn't play, the LAKERS looked good. Anyone who denies it lives in a fool's world. Though, the shooting against TIMBERWOLVES wasn't that great as it was against KINGS, but the DEFENCE was there.

Against KINGS, there were three things LAKERS did impressively.

  • Defense (which was finally played as a TEAM, led by Malone who ran coast-to-coast like a healthy horse)

  • Hustle (Slava, Fisher diving for loose balls)

  • Offensive Execution (the triangle offense, reminds me the days of MJ and BULLS co. :) )

LAKERS rotated well, played the P&R VERY well, and hits the boards like heck. I like the role of HOFs. I must have been a trick of Phil Jackson. Shaq is happy in taking boards{He's averaging 15+ rebs for the last 8 games}. Malone is happy with defence play. Gary is running the offense transition; and Kobe is doing his thang. :)
