Summary
The Cavs bring the league's best record with them to Los Angeles to face off against the Lakers in the final game of the calendar year. Pete and Darius talk about the challenges Cleveland brings to the matchup, what they hope to see from Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton who are expected to be available in this game, and what they think the Lakers can do tactically on both sides of the floor to slow down a great Cavs offense and score against their two-big lineups.
