    BELIEVE

    Tom Zayas & Cranjis McBasketball discuss the adjustments from Denver in Game 2, how the Lakers sets are still (mostly) working, and what LA can do to improve their execution in late game situations. We recorded this pod LIVE on Playback, where we watched Offensive Plays from the 4th Quarter. We tried to leave in parts of that conversation that were relevant without the video so you can still enjoy our coverage.
