They have a great offense but to me it's the Lakers defense at the end the key to their success. Lebron has obviously slowed down and AD has had some misfortunes down the stretch but when they click together they can deny the preferred plays by the opposite team (notice how they aren't letting the Grizzlies players go to their sweet spots) and because they can turn good defense into offense that's demoralizing to the opponent.

​@@Ometecuhtli Even though he had a great game, Van Gundy is right. Hachimura is just shooting 29% from 3 with the Lakers this season. He hit them in this game, but if you have a choice between letting DLo (41% from 3), Austin Reaves (39% from 3), LeBron (33% from 3), or Rui Hachimura (29% from 3) open for 3, who would you rather let shoot the ball? There's no nonsense spewing out of Jeff Van Gundy's mouth there. The right gameplan just didn't work out because Rui stepped up. That's just how basketball is.

[@thewiseone5879]

​​@@Kreze202 True but Rui more recently has been shooting the ball very well and his mechanics have improved which kinda throws his numbers out. There's more arc on his shot, which used to be super flat. This a bad time to say it tho because he had already hit 4 out of 5 and it's crunch time where they can't afford any open 3s lol. It's unrealistic to expect 5-6 again but if he's a threat from 3, he might as well be a superstar because the middy is there and he can take anyone off the dribble and finish lol
