Summary
A dominant LeBron game, an efficient and impactful Westbrook performance on offense, a hot shooting night from DJ Augustin, and a very well coached Frank Vogel game got the Lakers a big win in Cleveland. Is this team finding its stride? Has Russ turned a corner? How does LeBron continue to do this? Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the Lakers win over the Cavs and try to answer these questions and more.

| 0:00.0 | What do you think about the Laker team now? |
| 0:03.4 | You follow the box scores of the games every day? |
| 0:06.0 | Just the Lakers. |
| 0:07.3 | You're kidding. |
| 0:08.6 | That is really a compliment. |
| 0:12.8 | I was pleased to see you smile at the top bar show because once the game starts, |
| 0:16.7 | you have a game face. |
| 0:17.8 | You don't smile much out there. |
| 0:20.4 | I don't think you have to do things for money anymore. Correct. What's up, Laker fans? Welcome to the Laker Film Room podcast, brought to by the Blue Wire Podcast Network. I'm Pete, joined by Darius and Mike. And it's the rare post-game recording. I have not done a rewatch. It's not the measured takes in the morning after. We had a fun game tonight, |
| 0:37.9 | damn it, and we're going to celebrate it because we haven't had a lot of these. That was a good |
| 0:42.4 | ass we and D that we played well tonight. And I think that if in the broader view over the course |
| 0:48.0 | of this road trip, an identity has begun to take shape with this team. We had another game where |

| 1:08.5 | half. I thought both Stanley Johnson and Wenya and Gabriel |
| 1:11.6 | were central to this performance. And I just thought it was a fun game that illustrated kind of |
| 1:18.2 | what this team can be, which is not to say that it can be everything that we want it to be |
| 1:24.5 | in ultimate goals. It's not really the point. But I've been really big this season on it. I just want us to get to the best version of ourselves. And I thought a game like tonight and a game like Toronto and even that Washington game game when we didn't let go of the rope like we were talking yesterday, seven three guys going to shoot over the top of you. And if he makes it, you know, you're going to live with that as a shorter team. But these last |
| 1:45.1 | three games in particular, D, I've been really happy and excited with the team really kind of |
| 1:50.7 | taking its natural form and finally doing so with 10 games left in the season now. Mike, so I'm going to |
