What do you think about the Laker team now?

You follow the box scores of the games every day?

Just the Lakers.

You're kidding.

That is really a compliment.

I was pleased to see you smile at the top part show because once the game starts, you have a game face.

Luca continued his MVP form.

It was a tale of two halves for Austin. He had two points on

LeBron goes from questionable to out, but then also Jackson and Maxie get our late scratches.

And so Rui picks up his fourth foul.
