Summary
The Lakers dominated the Pelicans on Thursday night to advance to the In-Season Tournament championship game. Pete, Darius, and Mike discuss how they did it -- from LeBron setting the tone and brilliant offensive performance to the team's overall defensive effort led by the team's wings but anchored by Anthony Davis. And then later, the guys discuss the matchup with the Pacers in Saturday's championship game and the challenges Tyrese Haliburton and their offense will pose for the Lakers defense.
