Summary
In the first of their back-to-back matchups, the Lakers beat the Kings with a strong defensive performance that continues the recent upward trend of the team performing better on that side of the ball. Pete and Darius discuss the game through that defensive lens, highlighting Anthony Davis' incredible night blocking shots and controlling the glass, Rui and LeBron playing great within the team's schemes, Max Christie's continued ascension on the ball at the point of attack, and much more.

They did the handoff right around half court. So it basically turns it into a foot race. Like, if you think, I have to score on Victor Wembenyama, how am I possibly going to do that Hey, let's get him out toward half court and maybe beat him to the basket is one of the better |
| 1:14.4 | options that you can come up with. |
