How did we win this one? Our shooting was bad from LBJ and Luka and Laravia and Smart couldn’t score. Our we sure that Luka shooting 30-40 shots a game doesn’t stall others? It seems when JJ took LBJ out with a 14pt lead we went to — in a hand basket! Coaches need to have a feel for the pace and not always take LBJ or Luka out to control their minutes. If LBJ or Austin or Luka are rolling let roll some longer.
DJ, you are right on the money — this one felt like we stole a win out of thin air. The shooting was rough, the rhythm was off, and for long stretches it looked like we were begging the game to slip away. And yet… this team just refuses to die right now. Nine straight, twelve of thirteen — that’s not luck, that’s resilience.
And you’re absolutely right about the rotations. When Bron is cooking or Austin finds a groove or Luka has that downhill rhythm, sometimes you’ve just got to ride the wave. Momentum matters. Feel matters. You can’t coach the game like it’s a spreadsheet — not in these tight, emotional battles. Taking Bron out with a 14‑point cushion flipped the whole energy. We went from controlling the game to hanging on for dear life.
And Luka firing up 30–40 shots? It’s a double-edged sword. He’s capable of carrying you, but it can freeze everyone else if the balance isn’t right. Tonight was one of those nights where the offense felt stuck in mud until that final burst.
But man… LUKE KENNARD. That shot was pure ice. In a game where nothing was falling, he steps into the biggest moment and buries the go‑ahead three like he’s been waiting all night for it. That’s the kind of shot that defines a streak. That’s the kind of shot that tells you this team is starting to believe in itself.
We didn’t win because everything went right — we won because someone stepped up when everything was going wrong. That’s what good teams do. That’s what dangerous teams do.
If the coaching staff can tighten the feel of the rotations and trust the hot hands a little longer, this surge isn’t just a streak — it’s the start of something real.
The Lakers are peaking at the perfect time, and for the first time all season, it feels like they know it
Excellent BB!
Thank you DJ !
