Summary

The Lakers relied on their depth to beat the Warriors on Thursday night, getting big scoring nights from Malik Beasley and Austin Reaves while LeBron and Anthony Davis did more of the little things to fill in the gaps. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the game, how a shooter of Beasley's caliber helps the team's half-court and transition offense, and how the new depth of the team is adding their respective strengths to what the Lakers already did well. Then later, the guys discuss Sunday's matchup with the Mavericks and how the new revamped rosters from both sides might impact the game.

DeAngelo Russell only played eight minutes because of a

crappy ankle injury. Hopefully he's okay. Sounded like it's a day-to-day thing. And it did not

matter. The Lakers blew out the Golden State Warriors in the second half of that game. And it was a very

0:51.8

foreign experience for us, Dee. This happens to a lot of other

0:55.3

teams, but not all that often to us. We shot the crap out of the ball. We shot 53% from

three led by Malik Beasley, but just an overall jump shooting performance man that was like,

1:07.2

I'm having a hard time processing. Going into the trade deadline, I was like, I hope we can take this glaring deficiency and just shore it up a bit. But now I think jump shooting is a strength of this team. And it's just everything's been flipped on its head in this way. And I think we're going to have games like this, man, where we just win because guys shoot well, because we have enough guys who that's what they do.
