Summary

The Lakers pulled off a big win Monday in Houston, taking the first of this somewhat unusual two game set against the same team in their city. Game 2 has a lot a stake, most notably that the winner has what could become a very, very critical tiebreaker for winning the season series. And for the Lakers, not only would they get that advantage, they'd do it while putting another game in between themselves and Houston. So big stuff for sure. It will, though, be a tougher test for the Lakers, since Rockets All-Star Alperen Sengun is expected to play in this one. What changes with Sengun back? A lot. But it also might make on player for the Lakers happier. Meanwhile, the Lakers are unlikely to hold Kevin Durant down as effectively in the second go, but at the same time, will Austin Reaves miss all of his triples? What stays the same, and what changes, from Monday. Finally, would the Lakers be wise to ask the NBA to start Luka Dončić with 12 T's next season? We kid... sort of. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Sengun returns for the rematch. SEGMENT 2: Can the Lakers keep KD down? SEGMENT 3: Luka minds his manners, and thrives.
