Part one of our bi-weekly look at the West, with one Eastern Conference crasher.

• LAL @ LAC: The Lakers couldn’t get to the rim against Ivica Zubac, and Kawhi is looking pretty good…
• WAS @ GSW: The Wizards crash the West party. Alex Sarr has taken strides from early in the season, while the Warriors somehow have no power forwards left. 17:01
• OKC @ DAL: The Mavericks transition defense put the clamps on OKC as both teams were missing their MVP candidates. 34:12
• UTA @ NOP: Zion vs Drew Eubanks (seriously) was great theater, and Isaiah Collier has…something to his game, we’re just not sure what yet. 48:06
• PHX: Jusuf Nurkic’s defense hasn’t been what it was last year, nor has Devin Booker’s offense. 59:54
• SAC: Only one thing has changed statistically under Doug Christie so far, but it really matters. 1:07:16
