Laker Film Room - Dedicated to the Study of Lakers Basketball

The Lakers won their third straight game, coming from behind to close out the Pelicans with a big run in the 4th quarter. Pete and Darius discuss why this win was better than it might seem on paper, the contributions of Marcus Smart and Jaxson Hayes, and much more. And then later, the guys discuss the Lakers’ center rotation, Deandre Ayton’s utility, and Jarred Vanderbilt falling out of the rotation (again).
