Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast. My name's Trevor Lane,

and you know what day. It is. Say it with me. It's game day. Lakers Wolves game for today, 1230 p.

p.m. Pacific time. We all know what's at stake in this one. I'm going to be live on the Lakers

nation.com YouTube channel as well as over on playback.com

slash Lakers Nation.

Come hang out during the game.

It's like a party, hopefully a celebratory party this time because the Lakers will get

the win.

All right.

On today's show, here's what we're going to do.

We're going to talk about a few of the keys to the game.

What do the Lakers need to do in order to get a win?

Obviously, it was such an early game. I'm not planning on a super long show here. I'm going

to run through a few keys fairly quickly. We'll talk about some of the things we're going to be

watching for in the game. I'm going to get into the mailbag and then we'll get ready for p.m. Pacific time. So let's not waste any time. Let's dive right into it here.

Just in general, what's on the line here? I think we all know. I think we all have a pretty

good idea of what the outcome in this game is going to mean. There's two possibilities here.

One of them, if the Lakers should lose, and by the way, the wolves are currently a two and a half point favorite, as I'm recording this over the Lakers today.

If the wolves were to win this game, well, that would probably signal the end of the Lakers season would be coming sooner rather later.

Not that it's impossible to overcome a 3-1 deficit. It's happened.

It has been done, but it's unlikely.

It's unlikely.
